Thank you, Summerspa! I intend to go thru it step by step to see if I can figure out exactly what's wrong with my aged system.

Re: Guesstimate manual chlorine needed til part arrives Mond Online research says AquaChem Liquid Chlorinizor is 10% chlorine. The other 90% is water. Is sold under many labels, since 1979, made and distributed by Bio-Lab, Inc. It seems to have no other additives, just Sodium Hypochlorite and...

Re: Guesstimate manual chlorine needed til part arrives Mond Vanessa, 2 points so make here: At CYA of 65, your minimum FC level should be 5, not 3. For your pool, 3 quarts (96 oz.) of 10% chlorine will raise it the 2 points. If you want to go to a safer FC of 7, then 6 quarts would be...

LS, Is 2600 optimum? Our SWG cell is dead, but if memory serves, 2600 - 3200 is, or was, the range for Aquarite, with 3000 considered ideal. Please check your system's manual. Or perhaps your new generic cell has different requirements.... If 2600 is the minimum, is there a reason you are...

SV6, Maybe you just got a lemon SWG. Or maybe your water's chemical balance is off. Is it municipal or well water in your pool? If you will post your test results, including your salt level and usual SWG generation percentage, we might well be able to tell what the cause is, and assist...

I've looked and not found it. but it sure would be very useful for many people! Good luck! I hope you can find it.

Update: Thursday, June 6, Noon-thirty. Last evening the cell read 700, then 800. Today, 900. I don't know who's more confused, the cell or me. :wink: But clearly it's not working. Lots of black, tar-like substance (sealant?) has leaked out of the area where the wires are on the cell, under...

Thanks, Just cleaned the cell. Cleared the memory. Cell started reading salt initially at 0, then jumped to 700. We'll have to watch and wait. And go to some pool stores tomorrow. :( Alan

Uh-oh, It looks like my SWG is still having a problem, after replacing the current limiter. I will clean the cell after work today, but this morning I turned it on just to see if anything changed. Salt was up to 1500 from 1300, then it dropped back to 1300 after a few seconds. :( Two...

To All of You above, We removed and replaced the current limiter this evening, and turned the SWG on for just a few minutes. All the led lights seem to be working appropriately again, and the lcd read-out is making sense. Salt appeared to be low at 1300 (as I expected a low reading) so I...

Our 7 year old Mineral Springs-BioGuard-AquaRite-Hayward SWCG stopped functioning this winter, and I've been toting chlorine since. Now that I've found this thread, I'm betting a whopping $5.44 (incl. postage) on the DigiKey part you've been discussing. Amps read 0, even if output is set to...

Thanks for the great explanations. I've returned here after 2 years, and understand that the loss of salt was truly due to backwashing the DE filter, and copious amounts of rain. [And actually, we don't drain the pool. Water just disappears when the water level gets above a particular...

Please explain why I have to add a bag of salt to the pool several times per year, if the pool is rarely used. Is it the sunlight, wind, and temperature? You imply that the salt stays in the water, no matter what. However, the more water that evaporates, it seems, the more I must add water...
