Hey all,
I have a 2017 Limelight with the ACE Swcg. It looks like I have a small leak at the heater that I am trying to diagnose.
I tested the white stuff and it looks to be salt with Taylor kit. FYI I added the ACE after the fact and use the Scepter Salt Cell. It "feels" to me like the salt corroded the heater, but it could just be a leak and the salt accumulated at that point.
I maintain the following water chemistry: FC 7.5 PH 7.6-7.8 TA 50-75 CH 150 Salt 1400-1800 CYA 30 Temp 100 BOR 40. I did have a few runaway chlorine events of FC > 50 that lasted 30 days plus (its a vacation home tub) before i got the ACE dialed in. Now it is 7.5 every time I arrive like clock work. Occasionally the PH gets close to 8, but as I dialed in the TA it has stayed pretty close to normal even when left alone.
I am trying to figure out if the heater is toast or can be repaired. I don't mind technical work if required.
Thanks in Advance
