I have an Aqua Trol SWG with the inspect cell and check salt light on continuously. Tried to reset with 3 sec hold. Unplugged restarted, checked the cell. Nothing works. Less than one year old. Salt is 3100 Temp is 80. Should we call for service?

I asked Jandy about this, and they weren't interested in helping. What is the correct positioning and orientation of the breather tube? Should the end with the angled cut be on the top or bottom? Should the angled cut face the pool (outlet) or the pump (inlet)? How high relative to the...

Does adding 90-degee turns reduce water pressure and flow like adding them to HVAC ducting does to air flow? I have to add some in for a SWG I'm thinking of putting in and was wondering. I know the SWGs have pressure requirements (max usually). I'm thinking of the RJ-60+ by Circupool. TIA

Hey guys, wondering if anyone can weigh in on a couple of pools. I currently have a 30ft round pool with resin components from Family Leisure. I switched from their permasalt system after one season and went to a SWG. The pool is only 6 years old and has a rust spot all the way through it...

My aftermarket 40,000 gallon ‘T-15 equivalent’ cell from Leslies finally fatigued its way to ineffective status after about 12,000 hours (3 years at 11hrs/day). I just replaced it with this other aftermarket see-thru version called Simple Cell from poolguysupply for $399 and it seems to be...

My pool is about 10 years old, still running on my original equipment (Jandy Aquapure Ei35 salt generator). I can no longer find some replacement parts, and at the cost of some of the replacement parts I do need, I am thinking it is just time to upgrade. I am looking for recommendations on...

Is there a way to create an interlock within the OmniHub to prevent the acid pump from injecting acid while the AquaRite is on? Under the "Equipment to Equipment" settings, I don’t see the SWG listed at all. when the OmniLogic is configured to automatically dispense acid based on the pH sensor...

I have an ichlor 30 that has been showing a blinking red light, indicating low salt. I’ve tested my salt with a Taylor kit and it is reading >5000 ppm. Too high. I’m working on getting the salt level corrected by draining but I also need my SWG to work. I replaced the flow switch twice - one...

Hello, everyone. My saltwater generator (SWG) is displaying a low salt reading and to inspect the cell error. I conducted a sodium chloride test and got a reading of 3200, while the SWG showed 2500. I've never experienced calcium buildup on the cell when I go to clean it and I clean it at least...

I bought a "Platinum Edition Compatible Salt Cell for Hayward® T-CELL-15" for around $350 last spring with a FIVE YEAR WARRANTY. I really liked that it had a plexiglass window about the cell so you could see how clean it was. Awesome feature. It ran for three months then failed. My computer...

Hi all I have an above ground pool - 4m x 2m, wooden frame with metal braces. Covered by a polycarbonate polytunnel - i.e. rain and leaves kept out. An electrician fitted outdoor sockets back to an RCD for the devices that are plug & play (filter pump, SWG) and hardwired the heat pump and the...

Long time lurker, first time poster. First would just like to say thanks for the support this forum has provided. I have a 13 month old Cal Spa with factory SWG (aka Saltron Mini). Tonight I discovered my heater cartridge has corroded itself badly enough to trip the GFI. I follow this forums...

Hi all, I stumbled across this website today just before I bought a bunch of shock for my pool.. perfect! But i need help fast to figure out everything going on with this pool and I'm getting many different answers. Please see my details below and help me optimize this pool! TIA -South FL...

Old pool, new homeowner. System has an off-line chlorinator that is pretty trashed and full of that yellow stearic acid residue that I want to get rid of. I’m not really tempted to pickup the old owner’s PB. That being said algae is starting to creep in and I’m having to do a major water change...

My TCELL940 is on its last leg after 5.5 years. Some days it works great, some days it doesn't produce, voltage and amperage are all over the place. If I can squeeze more juice out of it, great, I'll run it as long as I can. But either way, I want to be prepared for its EOL, regardless of when...

Double checked my signature - all info in there is accurate including the pump. While out of house we got text from neighbor saying our pool pump might have bad bearing, making loud noise. When we returned, indeed, the pump is making terrible noises. The pump lasted only about a year and half...

Hi TFP, Went from pool novice to having a trouble free pool a couple years ago when I bought my first place with a pool and this forum was awesome with examples and assistance. Nowadays people remark on how little effort it is I spend taking care of my pool -- a 12,000 gallon in-ground jobbie...

Is it really safe to keep FC between 5-7 as mentioned in Pool ABC/Chemistry? Everywhere else I read states to not have swimmers in the pool if chlorine is above 5 as that is an unsafe level. Please explain! (Standard seems to be between 2-5)

Greetings, Recently purchased the above mentioned to replace my 16 year old Autopilot DIG220 system. Does anyone here have any experience with this hybrid system. Really loved my old autopilot but needed a way to view my system remotely so I got this with the WiFi relay. Also looking for...

Good Morning Folks, My name is Christian. I live in Tobago, a small island in the Caribbean that is part of the Twin Island Republic of Trinidad & Tobago. I am currently running a Pool Pilot Dig 220 SWG with PPC 1 cell in a 12k Gal Bean Shaped Pool Upgrading to AutoPilot ChlorSync Hybrid Gen...

I am a newbie, but read through the threads without finding this basic question. I've been given gratis a working, one-year-old Hayward Aqua Rite Pro and wonder if I can just dispense with the chemical-adding unit and just use the unit to power a Hayward TurboCell T-CELL-15? Hayward assures me...

I replaced the manifold, trisensor and PPC4 cell this year. I did not change wire since amps seem good. I am running the cell 16 hrs a day using auto % setting, power level 1 @ 20v 5 amps, about 75%-100%. Salt 3500 PPM Chlorine test using Taylor Tech R-0870 is 2.5 ppm. I had been run VS pump at...

Hello I'm a new homeowner that need you all's expertise to begin understanding how to care for my pool. I'm located in Atlanta and $100/ week for pool care adds up quickly, so wondering if this is something that I can learn to tackle myself. I have a 16x32 approximately 31,000 gallon inground...

Hey Everyone, Still on this learning journey as a first time pool owner. I've enabled the setting in the Pool Math app to Link from TroubleFreePool.com user profile to see the most recent test results. Question Free Chlorine week over week (we test on Thursdays) is inching up by 1 ppm...

I have a Jacuzzi brand SWG that was installed about two years ago. I haven't had any problems maintaining FC levels until about 2 weeks ago, when FC suddenly plummeted to below 1.0 ppm. My salt was low (~3400), with the manual calling for 4000-4500 ideally. So I increased salt to 4200, and...

Hey all. I run my aquapure around 40-50% and my cya is around 80 right now in the hot south Florida sun. Not sure if I’m doing something wrong but the ph just keeps hovering at 8 constantly. I add acid, day or two later I’m right back up there. Is this normal?

Hi everyone - I am brand new to owning a pool and have been learning a ton this site. I need help wiring my equipment correctly. Here is what I have - We live in the San Diego area - 14,000 gallon pebbletec pool - Intermatic T21004R control panel - Pentair mastertemp 400 heater - Calimar 1.5hp...

In the 2 years of owning this pool, last week was the first time the water was not perfect, and I had issues with algae in corners. Most of this was contributed to hurricane Beryl (no power for a week and too much rain), but also due to CYA being well over 100ppm. I'm not a fan of pumping up...

Hi all, new user here, learning a lot already. Have the app and just balanced my pool in preparation for installation of a SWG. As you all can tell by my information, I have a small pool - a little more than 5,000 gallons I think. I'm looking at the CircuPool Core 15/35 series and that looks...

last year we had a new omnilogic panel installed. I have an inground pool and above ground spa which are separate bodies of water. The spa t-cell is plugged into the old salt chlorinator which is set to remote controlled and thats wired into the main panel so it can all be controlled from there...
