When you remove the robot do you keep it level? This should help, the water drains slower out of the robot but doesn't release the debris. I put one side of the track on the coping while it drains. You need to lift it out from both ends and try to keep it level as best as you can. When you...

Have you looked at the pump wattage that it is using at different speeds? My pump only uses 120W at the lowest setting which is 20GPM and my SWG doesn't have any flow issues at that speed. I run my pump 24/7 now that it is pool season and that lets me run the SWG at a lower output rate. I...

The T-940 cell should have had a 4 year warranty and outputs the same daily amount of chlorine as the T-15 cell. The T-15 cell should come with a three year warranty, be careful as some only have a one year warranty. The T-940 cell should outlast a T-15 cell as it is designed to last longer...

The best way to solve this issue is to run an OCLT. With SWG pools it is difficult to detect algae at first due to constant chlorine being added that keeps the algae from ever blooming. Usually the first indication of an algae issue is the chlorine is lower than it should be. The pool still...

If the amps and voltage are in normal parameters then it should be producing chlorine. How old is the cell? The chlorine production rate will drop some with age. Is the pump changing speeds during the run time? If too low of flow it might be turning the SWG off and you don't realize it. Try...

If it is a 60K cell 12 hours at 100% should be making about 4.5ppm of FC each day for your pool. Get the voltage and amp readings for both sides of the cell. While it is on, read the numbers and then turn off the SWG switch and turn it back on. The 2nd side should be active and compare those...

Save it, you will never know when you will need to remove the current cell and want to keep the pool running. I always take out my good cell during the winter months and let the pool run with an old worn out cell while I use liquid chlorine during the winter when the water is too cold to...

LG OLED is my first choice for price and performance. I like high end TV's.

Launch is less than a week away, Wednesday 22, around 4:30AM pacific.

If you are going to switch over to liquid chlorine soon for the fall/winter you might consider waiting until the spring to buy the cell as that will be 5 months longer on the warranty. I've never noticed a price drop for salt cells during the winter months, if anything they have crept up. This...

You can only get a cell that is rated for 40,000 gallons, T-15, with your system so you are stuck with that size of cell which is undersized for your pool. Like the others have said cleaning the cell shortens the life of it and the need to run it longer than compared to a larger sized cell is...

Back to JWST, being packaged up for its ride. I've made more than a few parts for this beast.

I've always have had hair balls wrapped around the impeller on my S300i. The filter catches everything else it seems but the hair somehow gets pass the filters. I've always had the dual filters installed. Removing two screws is all it takes to get to the impeller and then one screw to remove...

I would add the acid, pool stores usually don't miss the pH by very much. I would add half a gallon now to see how low the pH goes. The gallon would drop the pH to 7.2, that is a large drop at once and is risky if the pool store testing is off and a half gallon will not do much harm.

I have a Dolphin S300i for about 4 years and the motor just died, I bought a new motor assembly replacement for less than $400. That is the only repair that I have had to make. Every now and then the impeller needs to be cleaned and that's about it. They are simple to work on and some repairs...

How long do you run the pump? The output is set for only 28% and that seems to be a really low output for this time of year unless it is running for 24/7.

Why did you soak the cell in acid, did it any calcium build up in it? I would be very surprised if it did with the CSI so low. I would almost be willing to say that was the cause of the cell failing so quickly is that it is in too acidic of water. I would like to hear what JamesW would have...

The pH rise is due to the new plaster and you don't want to go below -.2 for new plaster as JamesW stated towards the beginning of this thread. Let the pH run high, borates will limit the scaling inside the cell. Don't raise the CH, and just keep adding small amounts of acid to control the pH...

Please clarify, how old is the plaster?

Are you running the bubblers, sheer descent, and/or the spa spillover? If you can add a small amount of acid each day, like half a cup the pH will be a bit more stable in the long run. Large additions make the pH swing faster due to the pH rising faster when it is lower.

Is the SWG powered on all the time or does it turn off when the pump turns off?

They do go bad and get stuck open which can lead to many issues if there isn't water flowing through the cell including explosions. If you run the pump 24/7 then you are somewhat safer than if the pump turns off for any amount of time. It is recommended to always have the SWG on a timer that...

What is the CYA level? The pool should use no more than 4ppm of FC during the summer if all the chems are right. And while you are at it please post all of the test results, thanks. Auto Pilots are top of the line SWG's and they do have ways to tell if the cell is still producing by checking...

I was up all night after my 2nd dose waiting for the chills and aches to hit, they never did and I ended up a bit tired the next morning. A day of fishing was the cure for that though as I scheduled some time off expecting not to feel well.

Put the solar cover on and turned on the solar and the pool is up to 81 as of last night in one week. It went from the upper 60's to 81. Almost time to enjoy the main pool again and not just the spa.

Two of my 3 kids have had their 2nd doses, Moderna, for over a month and they both got the chills and body aches for a day after the second dose along with the sore arm. The wife and I just received our 2nd dose of Moderna a week ago and we only had arm soreness after each dose. At the same...

Heliocol or Fafco panels are both good name brands, no problems with either company. I'll get back to question 1 at the end. There might be three months at best that you can go without a cover to maintain the 85 degree temp in the morning but unlikely. It might start out around 82 in the...

We need the OCLT number and the CYA level.

Once the water hits the low 60's I turn off the SWG and reduce the pump speed to low, in your case maybe 1000 RPM, for 6 hours a day. With a cover your pool might only use 1ppm of FC a week at this point. The water usually hits this mark in December but this year it was early November due to...

In your case get the bigger one, you are in CA and your pool is a bit bigger than theirs. You will need less run time and it will last longer than the smaller one.
