    First time use Hayward SWCG in the middle of nowhere

    OK. after a bit of amateur pool nurturing, I now at least get readings of Chlorine and Cyanuric acid. The pool also does not taste salty anymore. So expect salt concentration to be (not too high any more) - this is following several dump and dilutes and backwashes. BUT MY SWCG STILL DOES NOT...

    First time use Hayward SWCG in the middle of nowhere

    Thanks for he tip. I have had the thing out again and think I can see the metal just about, so its probably ok. What would happen if I dumped a whole bucket of Dichlor in the pool before going away for a few days t let the CYA levels get up...? Stupid question? Getting a little frustrated...

    First time use Hayward SWCG in the middle of nowhere

    Is it possible that my cel has a protection sleeve in it because I only see the white plastic lines showing while I understand I should be looking at metal. My salt reading on the SWCG shows nothing, Check salt LED lights up and Inspect Cel LED also lights up. I think the cel is doing nothing at...

    First time use Hayward SWCG in the middle of nowhere

    Good news. One last Question before I try this. What is the unit for concentration of salt the SWG will give me when I press the left button 5 times? I am hoping ppm. I understand it should be around 3000ppm.

    First time use Hayward SWCG in the middle of nowhere

    Great Ted, That in mighty useful to know. If I resolve the salinity issue, will the cel then work? Also is using Triclorcyanuric going to work as the stabiliser I need?

    ok. I have diluted the water back to reduce salt concentration (blind as I do not have anything to verify the salt concentration yet). I am using TrichloreCyanuricaxid (?) with Algecide and Ph Minor to keep things in control...? pH is doable and 7.6. No sign of chlorine with my test kit at...

    First time use Hayward SWCG in the middle of nowhere

    Great help. Thanks! OK I will see what I can get. I think they have Trichlor something Cyanuric acid... My Chlorirdes proved to be 0 both free and total according the 5 drops of reacgent 001 and 002 and then for total 003. Have no way of testing salt level except to say that it tasted saltier...

    First time use Hayward SWCG in the middle of nowhere

    Hello, We moved to "the middle of the stick" remote location away from help and supplies. We bought Hayward system and cell, lots of salt and a water testing kit in Houston and shipped this over in a container... So new pool made to dodgy standards but seems to work. But now with water (from a...
