I am about to pull out my hair (or someone else's) trying to figure out how to reset the timer on my salt cell. There is no decent owner's manual on the Hayward website, maybe one of ya'll can find it in 30 seconds, but an hour of scouring the internet for a manual or a solution has failed me.
My SWG gave me warning to clean it. I cleaned it nicely and it seems to be working great. But I still get a notification to clean the SWG about once every 5 days. I can reset it on the app, but it keeps coming back. I do not have either of the older controllers that 90% of the answers that I found refer to. I only have the OmniLogic controller and I can't find anything in the settings to reset it. Maybe I just unplug it?
Second question: It appeared that King Kong himself was the installer of the SWG, and used a big pair of channel lock pliers to tighten it. It was very difficult to remove and I had to also use a big oil filter wrench to get it off. It leaked after putting it back together until I gave it a good dose of silicon grease, and then you guessed it, another tug with the oil filter wrench. Anyway, the collar is now cracked. It doesn't leak (yet). A replacment collar seems easy enough here.
My big concern is that I am running out of space. I am not sure I can splice another connection in there as the water flow sensor is spliced in just upstream. There is only about an inch of pipe accessible adjacent to the SWG, then virtually none before the elbow, then not much space after the elbow before the sacrificial anode. It looks like I am going to have to remove and return the anode, the flow sensor, and the SWG collar? And then because the anode is hard glued in, I would have to just replace it.
Thanks for your thoughts!
