    Aquarite T9 Cell bad? Can't Calibrate

    New cell arrived yesterday and I am back in business. After getting my Taylor kit, I found my salinity was truly closer to 9k!!!! Don't be me and rely on what your panel says, make testing Salinity part of routine. I had to waste a lot of good water to get things back in range.

    Aquarite T9 Cell bad? Can't Calibrate

    So reading through similar threads as mine and I found some posts about orientation of the cell. Mine has always been belly up. I have more recently been running my VS pump longer at lower RPM. Is it possible having it that way possibly caused damage with low flow rates?

    Aquarite T9 Cell bad? Can't Calibrate

    I know it's high, it wasn't that high. I made a rookie mistake of dumping a bag of salt in yesterday after seeing the reading being low on display rather than properly checking it to know what the actual reading is. I usually hovered around 3000 (but that was trusting the reading of the...

    Aquarite T9 Cell bad? Can't Calibrate

    I installed it about 4 years ago. I had bought it probably 6 months prior to installing so definitely close to 5 years old, about 4 actually in service. I am going to order the Taylor kit from TFT, but in the meantime went by Pinch a Penny and they tested water salinity at 5000. I will call...

    Aquarite T9 Cell bad? Can't Calibrate

    I have a T9 cell that is roughly 4 years old. It was reading about 3500 yesterday and then today I found it not generating and says 700. I tried multiple time to recalibrate but when I go through the procedure nothing actually happens, just cycles through the diagnostics menu (I have done it...

    SWG,VSP, and Heat Pump run time optimization

    Thanks for the input....I am going to get everything balanced and do some experimenting. My end goal is saving energy...which ultimately saves $$

    SWG,VSP, and Heat Pump run time optimization

    My pickle is the heat pump which maybe I am just overthinking. I rather it not run over night but to keep it off, can't go over 1200 RPM if I want to ensure it stays off. At that speed no skimming would be happening which is a moot point anyway with a cover on. With that said not sure any...

    SWG,VSP, and Heat Pump run time optimization

    I typically run my pump - 6-10 hours a day with output from SWG ranging from 40-70% based on chlorine readings done weekly. I recently installed a heat pump and I found out today it will run as low as 1100 RPM before the flow switch shuts it off. I have been lazy about maintenance last couple...

    Aquarite with T9 and Salt level of 4500

    We should be getting some spring showers soon and I expect some natural dilution...so as long as it's generating with no errors..nothing to worry about?

    Aquarite with T9 and Salt level of 4500

    Newly installed SWG. I did calculation based on 11,500 gallon pool which would of been roughly just over 300lbs of salt to get pool started I put about 260 in and checked next day to be sure I didn't overshoot...well I either have a smaller pool than I think or I suck at math but I am now at...

    Aquarite Install plumbing question

    Aquarite Install plumbing question

    I was taking one last look at it today to make sure I have everything I need and wondering if I should elevate off the ground a little. To elevate I would place some 90 degree elbows on either end to give it a few inches of clearance I think enough room to get the unions on and spin freely but...

    Aquarite Install plumbing question

    I am installing this weekend and I see the need to have 12" of straight plumbing before the flow switch but is there a minimum distance needed before water enters the cell. My current setup has a 90 degree turn about 12" after exiting the filter then a longer run before another 90 degree turn...

    New SWG Suggestion

    I am buying a house with a roughly 15k gallon pool. Will have a superflo vs pump connected to an Intermatic timer. No spa, no heater, pretty basic setup. With no real need for automation, what SWG would be a good choice. In my current home have a AquaRite cell and controller. I had to replace...
