I’ve installed the S3. No pool company around here knows anything about it. It’s been frustrating to say the least. Nothing on YouTube etc… to help, and Hayward is a bit quit on helping me because I’m not a pool company. But I think I have it going and working correctly. A little confused on the ORP settings. I have a saltwater pool. Any help would be appreciated! I also have the Omni upgrade package. Kind cool seeing all my information from my cell phone.

Just curious if anyone would know why my S3 isn’t reading salt level. It’s on 2800ppm. It was reading correctly yesterday but I installed another temperature sensor for outside and when I ran the wizard again to add it stop reading salt??? There is nothing on the Aquarite S3 Omni. I will tell you it’s awesome. I have the sense and dispense with C02 and it seems to be working perfectly.
I figured it out. I change the ORP to a higher value the the cell turn on and with a minute it gave me my salt level. Man I feel like I’m beta testing
Yes, I installed it yesterday. It works great. A little bit of a learning curve since no instructions how connect it to the Aquarite S3 and nothing anywhere on line. I also connected a C02 bottle and made my ph dead on. I took a test sample of water to pool store and it read exactly what the Omni had.

Welcome to the forum.
Is your pH rise due to your fill water TA level? Be ware that CO2 does not reduce TA. So be sure to monitor that and use acid as necessary to keep the TA controlled.

Thanks, my TA is still a little high, I added acid but it also lowered my ph to 7. I’m guessing it will rise as the system generates chlorine.

Ok, I was under the assumption that SWCG rises ph in the process of making chlorine.

Nope. The process is pH neutral. There is a small amount of sodium hydroxide created, but when the chlorine gas goes into the water stream that creates hypochlorus acid. They offset.
