So PB put salt in yesterday

[Titan7]

Not showing high salt, but it’s running at 8.14Amps, saw something here that it should not be over 7amps, but what do I know?

Guys I am all about doing it on my own, but as this is a new pool I am not gonna do something and have the PB come back and point the finger at me. I should have remembered about some salt in the pool from and liquid Chems for the initial 5 wks.

I don’t do this for a living so I relied on them a little, the were going to put in 400lbs of salt! I did the calculations and said 320 will bring the pool to 2800ppm. Just forgot about the salt already in there.

Here is the current diagnostic in the cell.

Titan, as long as the cell is not flashing a warning light, it is OK. Take a breath and enjoy your pool. You are in good company with thousands of other people who were steered wrong by their pool builders. Pool builders build pools, sometimes well, sometimes not. But, they don't know much about water chemistry or the equipment they install. In the future, before doing anything that you are not familiar with pool wise, come to TFP and research or ask a question and you will be given much better advice.

So now getting a bunch of no water flow sensor errors. Started yesterday afternoon.

I am running the pump at 20% which is really low. Hard to believe the flow sensor when bad in 3 days but I guess anything is possible.

What RPMs?

 

[ajw22]

Up your pump speed or clean your filter.

 

[Titan7]

I can’t find RPMs in the app. Only wattage and percentage of pump usage.

1% = 35 RPM

50% = 1725 RPM.

 

[Titan7]

Thank you. I am running at 25% and there are no errors, so 862.5 rpm

Oh am my Taylor salt test arrived, the pool salt level is 3400.

The app is saying instant salt at 3184 and avg salt at 3576.

So leave it or drain some water and refill?

Leave it as is. Everyone is happy.

This is too slow for the PLC1400. I have run it at 1500rpm ok but even 1200rpm caused problems.

That depends on the flow of the system. Mine (albeit a different brand and a different rig) works great at 700 rpms.
