Before I changed the flow switch housing, the cell would come on less then a minute, start producing with a green flow light, then the cell light and the salt light would turn red and it would stop producing. Now the cell light and the salt light stay off and the flow light and temperature light immediately turn red, the cell never starts generating.
Ah, so not the same failure. So the flow switch itself is the same but the housing was changed? I’m curious why circupool uses different switch bodies between the SJ and RJ.
I have actually replaced all parts at this point, including the switch and the housing, the cell, and the control panel. I have not seen the flow switch for the RJ, how is it different?
Yep, I can just unscrew the switch out of the fitting (I think, but haven’t tried it).
Hopefully they are better at returns than the place I ordered my pool heater from. I had to dispute the charges when the company kept verbally telling me they’d return it because of shipping damage but would never schedule a return RMA and pickup. Once I finally got it picked up for return, I still haven’t got a refund from them, only a credit from my cc company.UPDATE
I returned the entire unit to Discount Salt Pool ‘s. I didn’t hear anything from them. I sent an email yesterday asking what the plan was. They are telling me that they want to try to replicate the problem. They say they will either repair my system or replace it according to the warranty. I purchased this in April, I’m ready to get in the pool, and I still don’t have a saltwater generator. I’m not real happy at this point. I did notice that the SJ -45 is no longer available on the discounts salt pools website or on the circupool website. I am assuming I am not the only one having this problem. At this point, I am about ready to dispute the charges on my credit card, and buy locally.
They have been so helpful and attentive until the complete second unit still didn’t work. I understand how unlikely it is to have two complete units with problems, but there is a problem with this product. The sad thing is that it is replacing an Intex swg, that was admittedly too small for my pool, but at least it worked!
I really am sorry your systems x 2 are having this much trouble... I hope they can recreate it and get it fixed or working because it really is a great system and working WAY better than my old SJ system... They are still selling them on DSP but it is not on sale.. My old one worked flawless for 7 years before I got this one... here is hoping something works for you soon..UPDATE
