Ok so here is where I am now

Now, I still can't run/use my SWG because a prong broke off on temp sensor plug and although I bought all new parts pretty much as we redid it all yesterday. That is connected to controller & I can't replace that plug. I'm sure when I call Circupool tomorrow the answer will be buy a pretty much new system & well that isn't in the realm of doable especially with the price gouging on swcg's now. So we will see what happens tomorrow. Looks like I'm gonna be jugging until I can figure it out.

If you look at your numbers for CYA, SALT and CH, they all have different ratios (50%, 17.4%, & 8.7%). I would not expect the CH to change as much as the other because the fresh water you are adding in already has very high CH. but the salt and CYA should have changed roughly the same amount.

This tells me your pool water hasn’t been mixed enough. Fresh water floats on brackish water and can take a long to mix unless you run the pumps for a long time and brush a lot.

You might try testing again in a couple of days.

Can you post a picture of the plug and broken temp sensor?

Together

The broken prong: supposed to be 2 prongs

Called Circupool this morning. The person I spoke to wanted pictures via text so I sent those & said they needed time to research so I will be waiting for their response.

Lol I don't people

Just take a leisurely stroll/drive through the neighborhood and you may spot one fairly easily.

No need at this point, my plan worked wonderfully with zero issues so it's nice to know I have that option when needed

Have had a wonderful conversation with circupool all day. They are having me send in the whole controller so they can fix whatever is needed. Will be sending me a prepaid label & RMA so hopefully it gets handled relatively painless to my bank account

In other news, after 3 years I located a pool store locally that has the 12.5% exchange bottles/case so yay!

Warner and McQueen
Val Vista and Southern
Probably a couple others around as well

How much for 4 gallons - refill price?

No idea on refill price today was $42.32 with deposit and I was frankly thrilled over not dealing with home depot boxes and jugs at this point.

Tested again today & now looks how I would have expected it to. I already added LC & MA right after this test. Just wanted to update on the latest test.

 

[clambert1273]

Salt cell & controller are boxed up & heading to circupool today. I'll update when I know anything.

Let me just say I am so impressed with circupool at this point. They were super quick with everything. They also covered my system under warranty even though really nothing about it was their fault. I'm on year 3 of warranty so parts at 40% off. They essentially gave me a new control panel & upgraded my cel to edge 40 from edge 25. My part was $694. I walked away very lucky from this one and am very happy with how they helped me. The replacement should be here next week.

SO nice to hear about a company that takes care of it's customers!

 

[clambert1273]

Circupool has been amazing, my new items shipped yesterday & will be here tomorrow!! I'm so ready

 

[clambert1273]

Woohoo! No more jugging. Got the replacement system set up & running!

I'm sure there is one somewhere, it's just not visible and probably buried under a lot of dirt and rocks lol. I don't know even where to try and uncover it

I'm late to the party but our sewer cleanout is in the basement.

We don't have basements here lol

And attics, if you have one, are not useful that much either. An attic in the desert here can easily hit 140F and anything you store up in it will deteriorate from the dry heat.

There's a reason why the storage unit business in Arizona is booming all the time ...

We have a small "attic" in my bedroom closet with no way to get in it
