Swg shows 0 salinity

[Billy7871]

This is my first week with a swg but when it's not active it shows 0000 salinity. Is that normal? I have a circupool RJ-45.

Has it been powered down all winter and you just powered it up? Does the unit power down when your pump is off?

Billy,

I do not know how your specific unit works, but I would wait for the unit to start generating and then check to see if you have a good salinity number.. If so, then I would assume it is working as designed.

We have plenty of people with CirCuPool units, so maybe one of them can chime in...

Thanks,

Jim R.

I have only had it for 1 week. I run my pump on low 24/7. If it is generating it show the salinity.

Yes it does show 3540 while generating.

When the generating light is off, that means it's in the off portion of the cycle. It will not show salinity only if and when the generating light is green. You can always bump up the percentage momentarily and it'll turn on. At that point you will have a choice to see the average or the actual salinity. I find it has to run a few minutes before any of the salinity info there is meaningful.

Thank you. Misunderstood the first post. Sounds like Wireform has you covered.

Yes that's the way mine works also I just thought it would show you the now salinity all the time. Wasn't sure if something was wrong with it or not. Thank you
