Over 3 weeks and no Algea and FC is around 5. I have the AutoPilot on power level 2 at 70%. Looks like it is working.

My FC is still way over ten after 4 days. Should I turn the Autopilot down?

I put 20 96 oz jugs of 6% bleach in the pool Sunday night. All Algae is now gone. Here are my water stats: FC > 10 PH 7.5 TA 150 CH 325 CYA 90 Any opinions on how to keep the algae away?

Jason, Thanks for the input. How much Bleach should I add to get my FC comfortably above 25. The supermarket by me has the 96 oz jugs of 6% bleach on sale for a $1. How many of these 96 oz jugs would you suggest with a CYA of 90.

I have had my AutoPilot Digital with the SC-48 cell for about 2 months now and am contently struggling to keep my FC above 2. Which (I think) causes the Algae to continually grow on my pool walls. My water is clear but I have Algae (black) on the pool walls. If I run the unit in Boost mode...

Don, Did you get your salt measured at a pool store? I had the same situation as you and it turned out that the AutoPilot salt reading was off. This caused the cell to read low volts and think it needed to be cleaned. I then had the salt measured at a pool store and used the calibration...

On the Digital Pool Pilot, I am wondering what the "Force Reverse" function does on the maintenance menu.

Has been a day now since I cleaned the cell (just hosed it off) and the message seems to be gone. It looks like the "Check/Clean Cell" message took about 2 to 3 hours to go away for good. AutoPilot has a tech coming out next Tuesday (from a local pool company). He called and said he could...

Now 3 hours after cleaning the Warning message is gone. I guess my question is should I be getting a "Check/Clean Cell" warning after 7 days, with the reverse setting on 2?

The cell looks good. A little scaling on top of the cells. For example, I housed of the cell this morning and it is saying "Check/Clean" cell after just 1 hour.

My AutoPilot has been installed for 5 weeks and I am consistently getting a “Warning Check/Clean Cell” message every 2 to 5 days. When I clean it the message goes away. I have tried cleaning with Muriatic Acid (4 to 1) as them manual suggests. I set the reverse time to 2 which made the...

Looks like you are missing the power to the AutoPilot. Where's the Digital Control with the wires running to the cell and sensor.

My AutoPilot is off every night and the FC is the same in the morning.

Just an update: It is now about 4 full days since I shocked the pool with 15 gallons of bleach. I have been running the AutoPilot for my regular 12 hours per day, level 3 70%. Here is what my water looks like: No Algea FC 10 PH 7.3 Alk 130 CYA 90 CH 350 What do the experts think...

Just an update: It is now about 50 hours since I shocked the pool with 15 gallons of bleach. I have been running the AutoPilot for my regular 12 hours per day. Here is what my water looks like: No Algea FC > 10 PH 7.3 Alk 130 CYA 90 CH 350 What do the experts think? Mark

The Salt Level has been at 3400 since I started using the AutoPilot. On Sunday morning I shocked the pool with MPS (At this point I am trying everything), before shocking it the chlorine was at .5 maybe. After the pump ran all day my chlorine level was at 2, promising. Last night I shocked...

The pool water is clear, but over the 3 days that I was gone a greenish brown algea has developed on the pool walls. I measured both with a Taylor kit and strips. I was gone for 3 days and when I came back the chlorine reading was about .5 ppm.

Sean, After 3 days on Super Boost, my chlorine reading is below 1. I ran a test and got the following data: 92 Degrees SC-48 Cell Cell Power 28V 6.3A Any help is appreciated, Mark

I am trying to lower my Total Alk using muriatic acid. My current numbers are: I have a 20,000 gallon Salt Water Pool Total Alk 170 PH 7.5 CH 350 CYA 100 I have added about 2 gallons of Muriatic acid over that last week and the Total Alk has only dropped from 190 to...

Guys, Thanks for the response. I set the Autopilot on Super Boost at about 5:00 pm last night and by noon today my chlorine was 2 ppm. Sean, I left town for a few days before I saw your response. I will get the numbers to you when I get back on Saturday. I do know that my salt level is...

I have been fighting chlorine below 1 for over a week know. I called AutoPilot and they have me running the system from 5:00 am to 5:00pm at power 3 and 70%. I still get a chlorine reading of under 1. I am now starting to get a little Algea on walls. I need some help! My readings are: FC-...

I have a new AutoPilot and my CYA is 120. The pool store says this is fine, especially in the Arizona sun. What do the experts on this site think?

I am running it for 12 hours. The good news is that this morning I get a FC of 3. I put it in boost mode for 12 hours and then ran it regular for 12 hours the next day. After that I got a FC of 3.

Sean, My Combined Chlorine is 0. Should I turn the cell power back down to 2? Is it bad to have the cell power at 3? Just worry with today's temperature at 102. This is the best my pool has looked in years! Thanks, Mark

Before I saw your response I put the Pool Pilot in boost mode overnight. The chlorine now reads 3. I put the Pool Pilot back into regular mode. Pool looks great.

I have a new Autopilot Digital with the SC-48 cell. It was installed two days ago. I ran my pump for the first 24 hours and did not get much of a chlorine reading. I then ran it for 12 hours the next day and g0t a reading of almost 1. Wonder what I should do, I was thinking of one of the...

Now it says purifier on. Yeah! It is already reading 3400 PPM of salt, which surprises me. I thought it would take a couple of days.

Thanks. I added the salt, very impressive unit. I have it running my pump also. Way better than my old analog clock timer.

Just installed my Pool Pilot Digital with the SC-48 cell today. Everything seems to check out except I am getting the following message: "Purifier Off" The unit says I need to add 234 lbs of salt. The unit is not giving me a Low Flow message. Is something wrong or is this just because of my...
