New SWG Install - Not Getting Claimed Chlorine Generation

Jump to latest Follow Reply
The AC supply voltage should not dip when energized. The box only uses less than 2 amps, which should only cause minor voltage drop (maybe a couple of volts max).

The DC voltage will drop some from energized to not energized. Not energized should be about 30 to 32 volts. Energized should be about 24 to 28 volts.
 
You need to measure DC output to the cell voltage, as well as AC input from the mains voltage.

The input voltage looks good. As best as I can tell, you're getting about 0.8 to 1.0 lb per day.

Thanks for all the help again

Are you sure that the cell size setting is T-15 and not F-15?

Yup:

Does the cell say PL7703 on the label?

Yeah, Checked that too

For now, I have it set at 60% and it seems to be holding my FC at 2ppm for me.

I have been leaving my solar blanket off, so it's getting direct sun.

Not sure if 60% is right or wrong.. but it seems to be holding... Still need to get CYA up.. I'm around 60 - 65 ish now.
 
Well, looks like 60% isn't enough.

I check FC last night and it was down to 1.6.

Over the last 3 days it went from 2.4 -> 2.2 (Maybe 2) -> 1.6

Last night I turned it up to 100%, to try and pull it back up and I will see where that gets me by tonight.

Been taking my readings at same time every night after sun goes down about 8:30
 
Hi CyclingCraig, I spoke with our engineer and he stated that the amperage should be 5.7 amps and not the 4.1 amps you are seeing. They think this possibly could be due to a bad main PCB Board. Would you be okay with us shipping you out a replacement PCB? Its a relatively easy swap out. If you could give me your order # then I can get one shipped out to you.
 
I'd def add some salt to your pool as well. If "optimal" salt level is 3600 and you're at just 3400 (or less), that could account for the low production.

My cell (different brand) has a recommended salinity range of 2800-3400 ppm. But when I let it drop below 3k, it doesn't produce enough chlorine -- amps are 4-5. When I bump it up to 3400-3500, it operates in the 6-7 amp range and produces plenty.

Here is a follow up to all this.

I installed a brand new board that INYO customer service sent out.

I let the new setup run for close to two weeks so it could stabilize.

My Amp readings are still in the high 4.x range. (4.6 - 4.8)

But I'm holding chlorine at about 4 - 4.5 ppm

I have the setting at about 75% and Run my pump for 10 hours a day.

My CYA is about 55 - 60 ppm.

For my 28,500 gallon pool with a 60,000 gal rated salt system and my run time of 10 hours and my lower CYA..

Is running at 75% reasonable?... as I get my CYA up, I assume I will be bringing down the 75% some since the pool won't be loosing as much due to sun and such (Pool has NOT been covered at all, exposed to sun all day).

Thanks again

75% sounds what your pool needs for your pump run time. With 10 hours of pump runtime you are running your cell for less then 40% of it’s generating capacity.

I don’t think bringing up your CYA will change it much.
