My Aqua Rite T-15 cell is 7 years old so I half expect it to be worn out. My controller box is older, but I don't know how old.
When I first opened my pool this year, the salt reading was a bit lower than expected, 2500-2600, when pool store measured salt at 3000.
I added a couple bags of salt, now reads 3000, Pool store says 3100.
My pump timer runs 1/3 of the day and I've always set the SWG about 60-70 % to keep the chlorine level good, but this year it's not making enough even at 98%.
What is perplexing is that the SWG reads ~25V, ~5A when generating. If the cell was gone, shouldn't the current go to 0? Where is the current going if it's not making chlorine?
pH 7.6, FC 3.5(Added liquid chlorine), CC 0, TA 80, CH 250, CYA 50, T 79.
I tried measuring FC on water coming back from my jets, but it doesn't read any higher than the rest of the pool. Should I be able to measure the return water as higher with a pump flow of 45 GPM?
