I'll be sure to check that out too. For now, I've just turned it off. I hate to purchase a new cell for about 10 weeks left in the season. Our first cell lasted 8 years and the second one half that.

Thank you! I think we'll lug bleach until spring and replace it then.

Ok, turned it off and waited and came up with these numbers 1800 w/ generating light 86 31.9 2.48 then when salt & inspect cell came on & it went to 0.00 54 p -1700 then -0 when salt & cell light trigger back on Al -0 r 1.40 Photos of the board with power off attempting to attach a photo of...

Hope for any help as I keep getting conflicting information. We have a Goldline Aqua Rite 20 with original panel board and black discs installed circa 2007 and are currently on our second cell a Hayward GLX Cell 5 which is 4 years old. We started getting lower than normal salt readings for any...

I'm following this too. I open and close using this method for several years and always open when air and water are continually just less than 60 and also we don't close until almost Thanksgiving. I live on the coast of NC and it is very common to have 80-degree weather on Christmas Day for...

okay we are fixed and super clear. We never found a crack or split on the laterals but we were still having sand and cloudiness in the pool. Finally we gave up and scooped out all the sand again and replaced both the laterals and the sand. We are crystal clear. I believe if I didn't have...

my spouse now wants to floc the pool to try to clear the cloudy water.

Houston we have a problem which might be the whole cause. water levels are still holding and the water is clearer but not anywhere near crystal clear. I discovered sand in the pool. Reading the posts it could be a gasket issue or lateral issue. We did move the filter at the end of last...

Houston I think we have lift off finally. Thank you. We can finally see the complete bottom. Still not a clear and sparkling as we are use to but it is getting there. We found a missing aluminum telescoping pole in the bottom that could have been the problem. I think also left over dead...

Thank you. Still holding the chlorine. I think I'm staying with bleach until clear before switching to salt. I will try to post a photo later today.

Okay I need more help. We cleaned the filter until the water ran clear from the top following the directions on the video. It has been several days with pump running 24 hours and we are still cloudy. we can now see the bottom but it is not crystal clear like I am used to. I let the chlorine...

Opened 2nd season using TF method. It was slightly green at opening but I'm sure it is due to our area hitting 85 degrees Christmas and then snowing 3 days later. started the SLAM process and green cleared less than two days but water was cloudy. I've continued the SLAM now an additional two...

I also purchased the nautilus plus this year to replace a kreepy krauly. It does a great job in my fg pool and does a good job with the water line. I think it will do yours more after it has learned your pool. I'm glad it has a handle. It get heavy with water and I'm glad I have something to...

saw your other thread and replied. I have fiberglass and have not had black marks.

I have the dolphin nautilus plus and it climbs the walls of my fiberglass pool and at times nearly comes out of the pool cleaning the water line. Like Divin Dave stated it doesn't always climb the wall every time. It seems to want to get things done in its own order. Will clean up a wall...

I removed the cell and cleaned it twice with the acid solution. I didn't see calcium scaling nor did the acid bubble when poured in. I've added stabilizer to bring up the CYA and have not added anything else. The cell is generating chlorine because my chlorine levels have increased each...

yes it was a typo. I went and double checked and it is 3.35 I won't remove any additional water, fix my CYA & CH, keep monitoring my CL and be prepared to replace the cell. We have gotten the most out of it. It is the original cell when we installed the pool in 2008. Hopefully the next one...

Okay I'll start my own thread instead of continuing to hijack trickyr11's thread. I am trying to figure out if I need to replace our salt cell or wait to see. It is a Aqua Rite 20 using a T-5 Cell. The cell was cleaned with diluted vinegar at start up this year and we did not add salt until...

Re: Salt level not increasing after 4 bags of salt? We cleaned the cell with vinegar/water when we reconnected everything at opening. We could try it again and use acid this time. this morning I'm getting different reading. generator still says 2400 but testing the water it has increased to...

Re: Salt level not increasing after 4 bags of salt? I'm having similar issues. I finally finished the SLAM and passed the OCLT and started adding the salt. I know exactly how much salt to add to get between 3200 and 3400. My salt generator is stating 2400 and inspect cell and add salt...

I just replaced my suction kreepy krauly with a dolphin nautilus plus. I just received it this week but so far I love it. I have a free form fiberglass pool and the nautilus does great in the curves. I picked the nautilus plus for the cost, it cleans the water line, has a handle and you can...

Thank you , that explains why when I had a CC reading of .5 or 1.0 I had taken the sample at dusk or later. I'm on hold now. I'm out of the R871 reagent and local stores don't carry it. I've ordered it but waiting on USPS to deliver.

This might work great. My DD received a finfun mermaid tail for her birthday and CANNOT wait to use it. SlAM worked well but I'm curious about some of my results. I kept the FC at 16 since my CYA was low. When opened the pool there was green on the sides and floor of the pool but water was...

Thank you for all your responses. This year is different than every other year we have opened. Usually the water is swamp green and a mess and I didn't know this site and was using pool store stuff to clear it up. This year there is green in the pool but really only on the sides and bottom...

This is the first year opening after discovering this site and TFP last year. Pulled off the cover yesterday and the water is green but I can see through to the bottom this year. we turned the pump on and circulated for an hour and these are my test results. FC .5 CC 0 pH 8.0 (I hate this...

First I want to thank everyone for the wealth of information provided on this website. We installed our pool approximately 8 years ago and until I found this site this year I had never tested chlorine other than the OTO method, did not test for CYA or CH. I have now discovered CH in our pool...
