Hi all since i have adopted the trouble free pool way of doing things i have had a nice clean balanced trouble free pool for the last 2 years plus . That is until a few days ago. i bought a Emaux brand 45gr/ph SWG 15 months ago which after a bit of a learning curve and the purchase of a good quality electronic salt pen has run fine until now it shows 2 red light which looking at the manual means needs servicing sending to manufacturer .The recommended salt levels are 4000 which i maintain normally around 4200 at the first instance of the 2 red lights the salt was 4020 i added another bag of salt which has taken it to 4240.When i installed it i added a stabilized electricity feed to it when it was fitted into the pump room and additional fan as well because it does get hot here in Thailand . I have kept a close eye on all pool chemistry and kept it within the guidelines . I contacted the manufacture and their reply was that the cell should last 1 -2 years and needs replacing now if the 2 lights are on . Since then i have cleaned the cell with HCL there was a very small amount of calcium buildup on it which has made no difference i have checked the electrical feed to it it pulls about 7amp@230v with the pump running as well which is around what it should be (i have a very basic understanding of electrics) . As it starts there are bubbles and they continue even after the 2 red lights come on so im guessing that it is still making some chlorine in the email back from the manufacturer they said that if performance drops below 80% that the lights come on . So has anyone got any ideas if 15 months is really the life expectancy of the cell then obviously i need to change to another brand of SWG which i am limited with here in Thailand
