Does Omni PL work with CircuPool SWG

[desoto]

I recently installed Omni PL to replace an ancient AquaLogic system. In the configuration, I selected the obvious choice for the SWG, T-15 (940), but it's actually a CircuPool Gen-15. After configuartion, the SWG icon doesn't appear on the control panel so there's no way to set the % for the SWG, except in the app.

Is there something with the Omni PL that it won't work with any SWG brand besides Hayward?

Call circupool, they claim it is compatible...

Does this work with the hayward omnilogic controller? ()

Yes, any controller that uses the t-15 type cell can use this as a fully compatible, aftermarket replacement which can easily be added in minutes.

Thanks, PoolStored. I just talked with CircuPool. The tech said that the Gen-15 is not fully technically compatible with the Omni PL. It does produce chlorine, but the percentage has to be set using the app since there is no way to do so at the control panel.
Despite that, I'll continue buying CircuPool SWG cells because I've had much better luck with them and their customer service is so much better.

Update: for some reason, today, the Omni Pl is now allowing me to adjust the SWG % at the control panel. I have no idea what changed as no one has tinkered with it, but then electronics sometimes have minds of their own. Obviously, the CircuPool tech was not up to date on the Omni PL, and CircuPool Gen-15 SWGs ARE compatible with the Omni PL. I'm just pleased that I can still use CircuPool SWGs and that sometimes good things happen randomly.
