Thanks for the help. Looks like I am dropping another 800 into this money pit

Well it was free(ish) with my home warranty. But I did replace the dc cable at the same time. Where is the power supply?

Ah misunderstood your question. No, the sensor was not replaced

Oh and I am not getting error code 171 like it says in the troubleshooting guide

Yes the whole cell was replaced including the body and the cable

What unit would you recommend. I just put a new back board on and it still has the same error. I also noticed that when trying to test the cell voltage it read zero. Could that just be because the cell is not reading any salt?

The unit is approximately 10 years old the cell was replaced last year. I have been in this house for three summers now I had a problem two summers ago with a back board voltage issue. There was a fried connection. Replaced the back board and it worked perfectly. Now I am getting this issue...

So i have had the pool open for a couple weeks now and have gotten all the chemicals right and temp above 70, but the SWG is giving me these errors (low salt and High cell current and cell voltage below 19v. The back board was replaced by me two summers ago and has been working fine. As for the...

I have a call into the home warranty company. The pool equipment to include the salt/electrolysis system is covered. So hopefully this will only cost me 75 bucks. But if for some reason they won’t replace it then I will be going with amazon as they have the lowest price I have seen. Thanks rob...

Ha ha so! Where do I begin? How bout the beginning. I turned off the power (safety first). Then unplugged the DC cable from the cell. there was no more corrosion than the last time. So I used some carb and choke cleaner (non corrosive and dries/evaporates quickly). Then I wire brushed the...

Overnight FC loss-2.5. Went from 7 at 1 am to now 4.5 at 930 am. I am thinking it’s the organics. Everyday I have sweet the bottom and run the cleaner due to tree debris sitting in the pool. My neighbor behind me has 6 massive trees that keep dropping leaves, twigs, and seeds in the pool. And...

I added 6 gallons of bleach prescribed to get to slam stays after dropping ph to 7.2 and the highest the FC got was 7 after two hours. I added the last two gallons of bleach I had and there was no change after 90 minutes. Could it be my cya is too low and the chlorine is just going away or is...

Troubleshooting my lack of chlorine and my SWCG is showing a code 123 (low or no current to cell). I checked the cable (new last year) and there is corrosion on the two outside posts and inside the terminals. Can I clean them or do I need to replace?

Yeah that is what I was basing it on. According to the app that will take me up to 12FC. I have to go to the pool store to get acid so I will check out the chlorine they have

Thanks for the reply. The app says to put almost a gallon of acid to lower pH and almost 6 gallons of bleach for SLAM. Does that sound about right?

FC 0.2 (put 4 gallons in yesterday) PH 7.5 TA 230 CH 400 CYA 30 SALT 3200 CSI .38 TEMP 85 I am in the middle of trouble shooting my SWCG as I keep getting error codes. But in the mean time I want to keep my pool swimmable. I am assuming my chlorine is disappearing due to lower CYA. I also need...

Jim Totally understand that logic. And that’s why I bought the tf100 today. Besides my test doesn’t do much except chlorine and oh.

Thank you all. Yes it was in the junk folder. Found it safe and sound. Test kit ordered

It sure does. So am I supposed to get a discount code to buy the test kit

Trav, troubleshooter style is a simple two vial 5 solution test that allows you to test for chlorine and FC. As well as ph/ acid demand

Glad to help out when and where I can. I only hope to be as smart on pools as some of you one day.
