We just bought a house in Florida with an inground pool.
Previously had a 24' above ground Intex with SWG for several years so decided to convert this one to SW.
Bought and installed the AquaRite with T15 cell two weeks ago.
Initially put too much salt in and had to drain a third of the water. Was using the test strips wrong and getting a false low reading. Should have listened to my gut on that one....
Anyway, got the salt level down to 3500. Still a bit high but I can live with it as it will drop with back-washing etc.
Had to bring the TA and PH up as both were low. Now getting a high chlorine level so turned Desired output down to 25%. Still high, so contemplating either reducing run time or lowering output further.
The question is... How does it regulate chlorine level? It seems to cycle on/off but at what rate? If set at 10% does it run 10 minutes on then 90 minutes off, 1 minute/9 minutes, 1 hour/9 hours?
This will determine whether to reduce run-time or output % (or combination of both).
TIA
