My Hayward system in my SWG pool seems to run the Chlorinator indefinitely as the ORP in my pool actually drops when the cell is triggered. When left unchecked, the FC skyrockets and a neutralizer is required to be safe to swim. I understand ORP and FC are not one in the same, but there is a trigger to turn on the chlorinator when ORP falls below a threshold like 520 for example. The only way I have found to increase ORP is to add in a non-chlorine oxidant shock like Leslie’s Fresh N Clear. The Hayward rep and pool company haven’t been helpful in answering. I am told the higher ORP is going to help the FC be more effective. I think if I didn’t use Fresh N Clear my ORP would likely be 430 or less and I am advised not to do that.
Anyone able to help me diagnose or run into this?
