    Some hopefully basic questions

    I looked at my cell and it has a white plastic surround, so it's probably old. The sensors looked pretty shiny. As much as I'd like to diagnose this on my own, I have someone coming over this Saturday to test it all out. I suspect I need to replace some components... Thanks for all your help!

    New Pool Please Help!

    Hey all, Thanks for the initial responses. In regard to my CC level, I had been rounding up with my readings. When doing the TF100 test, I add the R-0003 (5 drops) and it turns barely pink. 1 or 2 drops makes it clear, so my level is probably more like 0.5. Do I still need to SLAM the...
