Turned on SWG today and getting errors

[Wraenking]

So the water temp is 63 so i decided to turn on the SWG. I have the aquatrol with T cell. Salt level taken with tftest kit is 3400. Diagnostics from awuatrol are as follows

Salt 1300
Temp 63
Voltage 31
CC 0
Output 30%
ISAL 0

Thanks for any help

Try this:
Move switch to off
turn dial to 50%
Move switch to auto
Recheck diagnostic readings

Same results but showing 50% output

It does read 2000 for the salt now without adding any.

You should get an instant salinity reading as soon as you hear the click of the unit turning on. As soon as you hear the click, go to instant salinity and watch that number until it stabilizes. Then, move the switch from auto to superchlorinate and back to auto.

I dont hear the initial click but moved it to superchlorinate than back to auto and get this. The bottom 2 lights are now blinking

Ok, it looks like your salinity is about 2600. You should get it up to about 3200.

I would turn off the SWG, add salt and then turn the SWG back on when the salt is thoroughly mixed in.

Note: What you're listing as "CC" is actually amps.

Just realizes the amps part. Sorry about that

So should i ignore the salt test with the tf kit? I added 17 drops before it went brick red so i figured i was at 3400. Ill pick up salt whule at work in the morning and report back in a couple of days


Thanks james!

Salinity is never exact. Your actual salinity might be about 1/2 way between both readings.

If the cell is old, it might be beginning to wear out. If the cell is wearing out, it will underperform and the system will underestimate the actual salinity.

You can make the cell work longer, but you have to keep increasing the salinity. Eventually, it will be best to replace the cell.

I would use the cell until it reads 1000 ppm lower salinity than actual.

Check the cell for scale and acid wash if necessary (but only if needed).

Will do. Only one season under its belt but ill check it again. Have to get kiddos ready for night tine and school tomorrow. Thanks so much

So i added the 1 bag yesterday and it went up to 2900 reading on the panel. Need to check the math because i forget how much 1 40 lbs bag should raise it
