~25K gal, vinyl lined inground, in MD.
I've got an older resilience SWG, ~10 yrs old. It has served me really well, but is currently having a problem. When I turn the knob up to increase the output, it will not go past ~20% and it also does not generate sufficient chlorine. I tried cleaning the cell with a diluted acid mixture (this was the first time I've ever done it in all of these years, never had a problem with scale buildup!), and while it did clean the blades up, it has not changed performance.
These units are discontinued, but you can still get replacement cells (but not main power units).
Is there any way to troubleshoot/measure the cell before I pull the trigger on a replacement cell? How can you tell if a cell is at end of life? What "wears out" on them if you've never had to clean them really before?
