Csm comm error no cell power

[delphine]

That is a T-15 cell. Leave the setting as is.

ok perfect. Thank you. After calculation, my pool is in between 14800 and 15300 gallons (kidney)

ok but then why do they say in the video that depending on the volume of the pool we need to put T-9, T-15 or other T-??

I am just trying to understand the system better. Thanks

I would use 15,000 gallons then.

We recommend a cell be at least 2X your pool volume. A t-15 cell is rated for 40,000 gallons and is well sized for a 15,000 gallon pool.


Each cell T-3, T-5, T-9, T-15 will produce a specific quantity of chlorine before it is depleted.[2][3]

It is on the screen on the pool machinery monitor. I believe there are two messages:
1. csm comm error (see screen shot from the app: in blue)
2. no cell power (the pool monitor)

For the first one, we have an app to see all the technicalities of the pool, lights and heater. Maybe it is the interconnection with the app. My husband will trouble shoot the app when he get back from work.

As for the second one, it looks like the chlorinator cell does not work. I am getting the water tested by a pro today to check if the indications provided by the pool monitor correspond to the reality (salt level). We are however completely at loss with regards the cell chloriator and I am hesitant to change it as it is barely 2 years old.

Which electrical panel are you referring to?

Post pics of the from and back of the board.

That error is a board problem. Either a bad relay or solder joints.

So the CSM comm error is fixed (I disabled the Chemical system monitoring as we do not have one)

I still have the
- 'no cell power' showing
Here are the different pictures

ok. Thanks

Check the 4A pink fuse on the left side and the 20A fuse on the upper right side.



Take a close look at these solder joints on the K3 relay. They look like there may be a break in the solder or it may be a shadow...

what do you mean by check? should I press on them to make sure they are well in, or remove and put them back in?
Moreover, I noted that I have a set of pare yellow, pink and purple ones attached to my manual. Are these additional spare ones given when we got the machine installed?

And what about the two other ‘points’ you circled on the back of the panel? Should I solder these more?

You can often see in the middle of the fuse if the wire has broken.

Or you can check the fuse using the continuity setting of a multimeter.

Every fuse has a number on it. You must replace like with like. If you have a spare 4A fuse youc an try replacing the one in there. Same with the 20A fuse.

Thank you so much for your kind patience! I changed the yellow fuse which was burnt.
The screen now indicates the chlorinator is at 50%. I assume this is normal?

Good find.

Take your burnt fuse into an auto parts store and get yourself another spare fuse or two.

Chlorinator % depends on the amount of chlorine your pool needs every day.

How do you test your water chemistry?

What test kit do you use?

Do you have PoolMath?

 

[delphine]

I have HDX 5 way test kit. I adjusted the PH today: was at 8, and I added 10 ounces of PH down for a pool of 15000 gallons.
The pool indicates 2800ppm. A friend tested the pool with his test kit he got from your site and it came up at 2.5ppm
I’ll test it again tomorrow to see how much the PH level has gone down as I assume it will take all day to distribute in the pool.

At opening I added
- 5 lb of shock;
- 2 chlorine tablets in the main skimmer as the pool was between 55 and 60F
- 5 bags of salt (salt is a bit high now: 3600… my mistake… learning process)
- a bit of product for the algea
