    Bypassing SWCG

    Thanks for clarifying, I agree, it seems like a terminology difference.

    Bypassing SWCG

    Who said making two cuts?

    Bypassing SWCG

    Yes, I understand all that. It's still "cutting a section out" because the diameter is now reduced.

    Bypassing SWCG

    “Cutting a section out” can be achieved by removing material in that way. So, what am I missing?

    Bypassing SWCG

    That seems like splitting hairs, unless I’m missing something?

    Bypassing SWCG

    If you are pointing to the hose clamp fix, that only works for so long. I believe the OP also noted he ended up having to cut a section out of the coupler and reattach the hose clamp.

    Is the Edge-25 a budget model?

    Bypassing SWCG

    Switch to what? I would like to explore alternatives to Circupool considering they would not cover this leaking or all the issues I had with the controller under warranty.

    Thinking of converting to SWG

    Stay away from the Circupool Edge-25 or anything with the same housing and thread design. It’s been a struggle trying to keep it from leaking at the couplers. The controller had many issues (and was cracked out-of-box) and the company wouldn’t replace it. I like the idea of a SWCG but this...

    Bypassing SWCG

    I was under the impression that a different SWCG would not be the exact size, and would require replumbing. If you mean another Edge-25 cell - that’s not going to fix the leak problems (others here have the same issue). I’ll take a look at the bypass adapter, thanks.

    Bypassing SWCG

    Our Circupool Edge-25 is now reading Check Cell and not putting out any chlorine. We descaled the plates today - no minerals remain from what we can tell (there really was not much in the first place). It’s incredibly hard to keep it from leaking. My wife wants to trash it. We spend far more...

    Equipment PSA for the folks in warm climates

    What do you mean by plenty of flow? We have struggled with leaks this year, both vacuum and pressure side, so we run the motor near full speed to keep it from sucking in too much air.

    Equipment PSA for the folks in warm climates

    I’m comfortable with winterizing my pool (I’ve done it with the help of this forum the past few years). It’s not predicted to ice like 2021, which is when it got hairy. 2022 and 2023 were probably not necessary for me to winterize. I didn’t lose power at all any year. Is the suggestion...

    Circupool Edge union leaks

    I’m a bit late to the party, but I constantly have this same issue with mine. They shouldn’t be baffled as I went around and around with their tech support troubleshooting late last year. They were not helpful at all and blamed the install. I jumped on TFP just now to actually post about this...

    Circupool Edge 25 Power Issues

    I’ve been trying to replicate the problem before I do anything new. No dice so far. Comes on every time.

    Circupool Edge 25 Power Issues

    That’s a good idea. I can also check the voltage. It’s an Intermatic. Haven’t had any issues with it although I replaced a couple of wires when I installed the SWG. Not that it means it didn’t develop an issue, but it there isn’t anything suspect. Maybe the pump is dragging the load down at just...

    Circupool Edge 25 Power Issues

    My Edge 25 is hooked up to a mechanical timer and a flow switch. Normally when it powers up, all lights will come on, then turn off, and then the current setting is displayed and everything seems to work. Recently, every so often, it will power up - lights come on and all - and then nothing...

    Active 30i bit the dust - broken cable

    I finally got the replacement cable in. Pretty easy to install. It’s been running for the past few hours without throwing the “no power” error. Although, I noticed it does stop early, but seems to be something with the app.

    Active 30i bit the dust - broken cable

    I previously posted about issues with the Active 30i cable (purchased March 2021) and the cable is now broken. I babied it and made makeshift floats to keep it from untangling and kept my pH at 8+ and kept it out of the water most of the time, and it still deteriorated and tangled so much that...

    SWG monitoring

    Not overthinking, I was confused by the wording also. I requested a feature a while ago where we could account for predicted FC loss. Over time I think with which data I might be able to roughly predict what my settings need to change week to week.

    SWG monitoring

    I find I have had to increase time and % over what the pool math calculator shows. I tracked FC when I first got this installed and factored in an estimated loss per day variable. Seemed to be pretty accurate, and right in line with seasonal changes. My wife delivered suddenly last week on...

    SWG monitoring

    Yep that’s about what mine was at until peak summer. I probably shouldn’t have backed it off to 16 hours when the weather cooled down - I had been running it 23 hours per day until then.

    SWG monitoring

    CYA is 80. I felt like I had it dialed in pretty well, I was running it at 50% for 22 hours a day during this hot summer we have had here. A couple of weeks ago storms rolled through, the temp came down for a week or so, and that’s when that high measurement popped up. So I turned it down to...

    SWG monitoring

    Hello all. I have a Circupool Edge 25. Two weeks ago the FC was 19 - the weather changed and I didn’t dial it back so it overproduced. I dialed it back a week ago and the FC came down to 5.5. It was 0.5 this morning so I turned the Boost on (first time I’ve ever used it) and measured again just...
