I just fixed my swg cell today by replacing the sensor because of the codes I had. Everything is working fine but I am outside today watching it and it seems to go into cell resting mode a lot. Is it normal or do I need to do something? I guess I have to wait to tomorrow to see if it is producing chlorine or not. Have it set at 50% now running it for about 7 hours like I did before the sensor went bad. Any input would be great. Thanks

You can check to see if it's producing by getting a sample of the return flow and compare it to the rest of the pool.

I am not sure about the "resting mode" you are observing. Does that swg allow you to set a percentage (duty cycle)? If it does I would guess the "resting mode" is just the off portion of the duty cycle.

The only thing I can adjust is the chlorine percentage. I don't know what you mean by the duty cycle. I have it set at 50%. I checked and it is producing chlorine from the return.

"Chlorine Percentage" of 50% means the swg is producing chlorine 1/2 the time it is on. So 50% duty cycle. In other words, it appears the "rest time" you observed is in fact the 50% of the time the swg is not producing chlorine. You may be able to shorten your pump time by turning the swg up closer to 100%. Take a look at this article: http://www.troublefreepool.com/pool-school/pump_run_time

Will increasing the percentage shorten the life of the cell life or is it a combination of run time?
Thanks for your help.

Cell life is generally determined by total run time (run time being when the plates are energized).

Thanks for your help. By increasing the percentage it is now resting less

Glad to help
