Hi All,
I am having a weird issue that I might know the issue but dont know the solution or if there is one?
I just recently switched over to Salt after the first 30days on our new build but have been having problems keeping any chlorine in the pool. At first I thought it was a chemistry issue but I eliminated that option once I get everything else right in the ideal balance. Then I thought the issue was the %'s and number of hours I was running the pumps but that didnt fix it either. I have two pumps, high speed that I run the spa and pool (when vacuum cleaning) and one low speed that I run the rest of time (ideally) for the SWG that run for 10hrs in total. I started at 25% and 2% and have now adjusted it all the way up to 50% and 5% for the pool and spa respectively.
Finally today I realized what was causing the issue, probably should have looked at this sooner but I assumed it was fine and was wrong! Today I noticed that when my schedule switches from the "Pool" setting on the high speed, over to the "low speed" which is VS pump, the SWG shuts off, no lights no power! I thought at first it was a RPM problem so I dialed it up little by little and nothing! I tried the opposite with the high speed pump on, dialing it down in RPM and it works just fine! Ex: High speed pump at 1700 RPM all lights green, 1700 RPM on VS pump, nothing.
Where I think I might know the problem but not the solution is that the SWG is powered on by whatever is connected to the 'Filteration' port electronically which is the high speed, but does not power on with the VS because it is in Aux 3 or some other position on the Intellicenter panel. I tried changing the schedule to 'run' the high speed for the whole duration on both schedules, but then also set an overlapping schedule with the VS to keep the power on but hopefully default to only the VS pump running but to my surprise, both are now running! Typically if the high speed is running and I try to switch the the low speed it will shut off the high speed and make the switch, and vise versa, they wont run together. However when they are both scheduled at the same time, they are actually both running together!
Anyone know how I can get the SWG to power on with both pumps?
To the chemistry point - the chlorine was low because the SWG had only been running 3hrs a day, not 10 like I had thought! I can manually ramp the RPMs up and down on the high speed pump everyday and keep the SWG going but that would not be ideal obviously.
