    Who is correct? Taylor Salt PPM vs Hayward Chlorinator PPM

    Gotcha! So pander to the cell and use the K1776 to prevent a real level from going above 4000. Presume when the cell is older and cannot cope at the 4000 real levels - is the point of cell replacement?

    Who is correct? Taylor Salt PPM vs Hayward Chlorinator PPM

    ?Thanks for your very helpful comments. The cell did not produce at 2600 and does produce now at 2800 but these levels appear arbitrary and I wonder if that will change just as randomly. So I should bring up/maintain the salt level to the bare minimum just up to ' low end of the salt range'...

    Pool Panel Wiring Question

    Guys - You are awesome! Makes sense now. Per recommendations: I am going to have a regular breaker at the Main panel and wire up 2 GFCIs at the subpanel - 240 v for the VSP and a separate 120 V for the control circuit. Will report back and once I am organized I will write all this up

    SWCG- Cable routing and sensor mount

    Thank you. Going by the cable specs I think PG7 is correct. Presume these have the 1/2" NPT threads to screw into the pump

    SWCG- Cable routing and sensor mount

    Hi Which saddle tee do I use to mount a temperature sensor ( 3/8" drill size hole ) on 1 1/2" PVC. Any tips or build pictures? Which 1/2" NPT strain relief do I use that is narrow enough for the RS485 cable to waterproof it? Can I piggyback it with the 220V cable in the liquid-tight conduit...
