Copper issue is it heater?

[Maurino17]

Hi all,
I’ve been having trouble maintaining good chlorine level with my swg this year and also had high copper for first time. Copper was .06 then I lowered to .02 with culator then it came back.

My local Leslies pool guys are helpful despite I know their chemicals are more expensive. They said

they think it’s probably my 10 plus year old jandy heat pump and since copper can right back I guess they are right. I am going to plumb in a diverter so I can avoid the heater for now.

does copper eat up the chlorine?

is it worth changing just the heat exchanger in a heat pump?

Thanks

Heat pumps don’t use copper heat exchangers. Gas heaters do.

What model Heat Pump do you have?

Cooper does not eat up chlorine. Algae does.

Do a Overnight Chlorine Loss Test

Don’t get pool stored and listen to advice from Leslie no matter how nice the guys are.

Hi
Thanks for quick response.
that would be good news on the heat pump! Jandy AE3000t
Admittedly I did buy it used and it’s got to to be 10 plus years old.

thanks for info on copper, I don’t have any visible algae at moment.

I will read the chlorine drop test.

thanks
