Hayward SWG TCelll 9

[Mike Rosenbach]

What does Average salt and Instant salt mean.Does this number mean how much salt i have in my pool or how much salt is passing threw swg.
Trying to understand what the numbers mean. Thanks Mike

Look at the Determining Salinity section.

Salinity is the level of salt in your pool water. Instant is what the SWCG is reading right then, Average is what it has read over a period of time.

 

[Mike Rosenbach]

So if instant salt is 3900ppm and average is 4100ppm then pool is a little high?

 

[mknauss]

Yes. Especially for an aqua rite. They burn out the thermistor on the board when salt kept above 3200 or so. Do you have a salt test kit?

 

[JamesW]

It shuts down at 8 amps.

Had salt tested at leslie pool supply on 4/21 it said 3320 ppm trying to understand if I need a better test and if I need to empty water

 

[mknauss]

You need a better test. Get the Taylor K1766.

What are all of the diagnostic readings?

If the taylor test kit shows above 3200ppm should I dump out some water

As long as the amperage is below 8.0 amps, it will be fine.

Get the K-1766 and compare it to the readout from the system.

If the salinity is over about 3,500 ppm, you should begin to work it down over time, but it's not urgent.

Is the system set correctly for the T-9?
