salt generator

Hi, I just moved to a new home with a saltwater pool in Chesapeake, Virginia. I just learned that our saltwater generator doesn't make chlorine when it's cold, and I'm trying to understand how to beat maintain the pool until it's warm enough for the SWG to takeover again. It doesn't get super...

My IC60 is about 6 years old (I think) in a 20,000 gallon pool. (I know this is overkill for my pool size. But that is what they gave me!!) Im in New Jersey so it only runs 3-4 months a year. I have an Easy Touch system and the salt level in the Screen Logic app is not updating at all and is...

My Pentair Intellichlor IC40 is pretty old. It's bulging and has some minor cracks and seems completely dead (no lights) I changed the fuse 10 amp, power came back for two seconds and smoke came out of unit. I'm guessing it is completely dead? If so should I be good to just swap it with a new...

HotSprings hot tub doesn't register the salt level properly. It will show it's too high OR too low. i can't get it in the middle. Steps I took: Checked the water with the test strips and the water was too high Tested to make sure strips weren't expired and tested on tap water and the strips...

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...

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...

We recently added an Intelliflo VSP with our aging Autopilot ST220 Salt Generator system. The system appears to be working well, however when programming or pausing manual mode the pump is NOT running and noticed the Autopilot control board is still lit up. I assume the ST220 is still sending...

Hello TFP members, We are looking to add a SWG to our Vinyl 27k gallon pool. It was built in '95, so we aren't totally familiar with the background, but we had the liner replaced when we moved in recently. I have attached a picture. A few concerns I have: 1. The coping is aluminum (I...

I have a PS4 with a T-15 cell. Over the last 6 months, salt readings have been dropping. When pool and salt system starts, instant salt starts about 3600 (yes, my salt level is high at about 3900 ppm after committing the classic mistake of following the cell and not an independent test) and...

Hey guys new to having a brand new pool installed. I really don’t know what the difference is with this Zodiac Fusion Soft Salt System and Hayward’s Salt System. Can anyone who has the zodiac share there experience with it? What is the major difference? I really appreciate it.

Hey y’all. I just bought a house with a salt pool and will admit that I know nothing about pools. To start off, I tested the salt levels and realized I needed to add salt. The intellichlor confirmed this. It was very low and the charts told me to add around 100 lbs. That brought the test strips...

I took this working unit out of my equipment area a few years ago when I upgraded to a ProLogic controller that operated the salt cell directly. I replaced a capacitor on the control board that had burned out and used it for a couple of years before it was made redundant. To use this you would...

I know this has probably been asked before but I'm looking for some more personal advice. I have a Hayward S-200 Vari-Flo pump currently set up with an in-line puck/stick chlorine feeder. I obviously have to replace the chlorine feeder and I am thinking of going ahead and converting to SW. I was...

I have an new pool, roughly 5212 gallons with a SWG (Intex) My question is do I need to create my own FC first before starting up the SWG so it doesn't have to work as hard? or get my CYA levels to 70 min (recommended for salt based on other threads I have found) and start the SWG according to...

I just replaced the flow switch and thermistor a month ago. I live in south FL. It’s never too cold! can I clip a flow switch wire to stop it from thinking the water is cold? What wire?

I have Aqua Rite Goldline chlorine generator. Recently LCD lights went off. Sometimes "power" and "generating" lights turns on for about 30 sec. and then off again. Display turns on even if the lights are off. I did troubleshooting as recommended . Everything was understandable until I came to...

Hi, we have an Intellichlor salt generator. Whenever the pump is off the flow switch stays green. I took it off and tested the flow switch and it works fine when it’s not hooked up. I push it and it comes on I let go and it turns off. But once it’s hooked up and water starts flowing through...
