    Equipment Guidance, VSP, Heater, Salt system

    This is my first pool; I have a rectangle pool, about 18,000 gallons, including the spa.

I...

    Hi everyone, Thanks for the forum and advice so far. I have been reading through a lot (information overload) and have bought the Clear Choice Labs salt water testing kit. Have done a couple of tests and compared with the results from a store test, some differences but not too badly out...

    Low amps/cleaning an Autopilot PPC1 salt cell

    Hello, I've recently gotten my pool from a total swamp state to clean water and I've been having an issue with my salt cell. At first it would warn of low amps (26V 2.8A). So I decided to clean the cell using water and muriatic acid according to instructions in the manual. I don't believe there...

    OmniLogic - T Cell current Sensor Short K1/k2 Relay stuck open

    Hi, I saw older threads but not sure there is a clear answer to my issue. I am receiving intermittent errors that the K1 and K2 relay are stuck open and the T-Cell current sensor is short. Error message goes away after a while, but returns. I changed the 4Amp fuse which did not get the permanent...

    Salt Water Cell

    Hey all, Just spent 3 days in a salt water pool resort. Normally I get eczema after a few hours in my pool. Takes a week to resolve. My skin is great after 3 solid days in multiple pools at this salt water resort. I’m curious if I can install a salt water cell for our pool. How does...

    Was I Oversold

    Leslie's Sold me a Swimpure Extreme 40. Unfortunately for me, I didn't do my homework and didn't know the system was designed for pools "Up to 40,000 gallons". The problem is my pool is barely 8,000 gallons, and I am having trouble keeping the chlorine levels down. It started with a setting...

    Saltwater system in hot tub.

    I’ve been a pool owner for years and at one point looked into converting my pool to saltwater. I wasn’t able to justify it at the time purely on an economical basis since the math did not work out when considering the payback period. I recognize that it’s a completely legitimate reason to...

    Pentair Superflo VS 342001 pump causing frequency problem with salt generator

    My Pentair Superflo had a short in the feed that damaged the main board in my Jandy salt cell. Rewired pump and replaced board and everything works fine except whenever the pump is running the salt cell is not getting 60 Mhz and will not generate.

    Help Me Fit a Salt Chlorinator

    With the price (and availability) of chlorine becoming an issue, I want to convert my system to a salt water chlorinator. The problem is, I can't find a way to fit one into my plumbing setup without bringing at least one underground run above ground. As you can see from the picture of my pad...

    Does the kind of salt affect chlorine generation/output?

    Just wondering on this. Last year I had issues with my salt generator making way too much chlorine. At first my CYA levels were high so I ended up draining the pool 3/4s and refilling. If I let my salt generator go on its own within a few days the chlorine level would be around 8PPM. So I would...

    Why isn't Free Chlorine decreasing if chlorinator is off?

    Using two separate testing methods including a Taylor K2006C, my FC has been around 8 ppm for over a week, in a salt water pool, despite turning off the chlorinator. According to Dr. Google: "Sunlight depletes chlorine level, although not as fast as chemical methods. On a cloudless sunny day...
