Circupool SWG

[coachhim]

I have the Circupool RJ 60 plus. Anyone with this swg can you tell me how accurate is the salinity reader on it? It’s telling me high salt. But when I’m testing using the K-1766 I’m getting a reading between 2400-2600 ppm .

I’m tempted to add 3 bags to being me back up but I’m trying to see the accuracy of the Circupool . TIA

FYI swg is the way to go. Still actively trying to find that sweet spot between 5-7 ppm of chlorine but I love it. My life has been so much easier and my clothes have less bleach spots

Hi salt can be caused by:
Salinity is out of range.
Incorrect Cell Version set.
Loose Cell connection...inspect/clean the connection and re-seat.
Cell is dirty or clogged...inspect and clean Cell if necessary. Here is our guide on cleaning. Don't use acid or vinegar, if you can help it.

I'd check cell version, loose connection and dirty cell.

I'd call circupool under warranty if the above doesn't help. It's been what, 3 or 4 months ?

There is none. You could have several different UV demands in the same week. By the time you find the perfect setting, it's time to adjust it again.

Set it to match the high UV days of that point in the season. Accept that it will overproduce on the other days. Most of the excess FC will remain for a day it was needed. Yesterday my cell shut off for low salt when it's 3000 to 3200. But I had plenty of 'old' FC from the cloudy days that week and it didn't matter I had no production all day.

I step in for an adjustment when I see it outside of 8 to 12.

When the SWG reads a lower salt level than the test kit, that is usually due to a dirty/bad cell. However, when the opposite happens and the SWG shows higher salt than the test kit, that can be due to a bad cell temperature sensor. What does the unit say the water temperature is and do you have another method to check that.

The water temperature has been dead on with my watch thermometer and the thermometer in the pool

How do I know what cell version to use?

How do I know what cell version to use?

How old is the cell?
What is the reading when you press the Salinity button?
What is the real time salinity using the Menu button?

With the SWG powered on and the cell generating, press the menu button to cycle thru the settings.
One of them will show the cell version. Yours should say RJ60+ . If not, use the +/- or left/right arrow buttons (sorry, can't recall which set of buttons alter the cell type/size) to set the correct cell.

I was talking about the Circupool RJ 60 plus thermometer.

See page 11, item #7-1

Voltage and current and instant salinity would also be useful.

Just took a sample to Leslie’s and apparently my test from Taylor was indeed faulty. Leslie’s is reading 4000 ppm Taylor kit is reading 2800.
Average salinity from swg was 4200-4400ppm

Leslie's can't tell you that. I'm sorry. They just can't. At 3500 ppm their accepted variance is +/- 25%........ 875ppm either way....... 2625 to 4375.

Only a new K1766 can tell you the old one is faulty.

Now. Using a Leslie's test as an excuse to go ahead and buy a new k1766 is certainly acceptable. But Leslie's is just too much of a variance to swear by.

I probably worded that wrong. Im making the assumption that my Taylor test is faulty. Amazon is sending me another at no cost to me. I took another sample to another Leslie’s got the exact same 4000 ppm reading
