What capacity is my SWG?

[bcm00re]

Blue Haven installed my new pool. They originally spec'd a 20k SWG but folks here suggested I up that to a 40k unit -- so I did (and it's on the contract). The unit they installed doesn't seem to indicate what capacity it is -- see the pics:

I tried searching on some of those numbers but couldn't find anything definitive. I also emailed Hayward some of those numbers asking about capacity but never heard back from them. The unit is now connected to my OmniLogic controller -- perhaps there is a menu is it that can tell me the capacity of the connected SWG? Any help would be appreciated!

The specific AquaRite model number or cell identification may be under the Blue Haven sticker.

The Omnilogic should list the cell type. Do you see anything that says chlorinator? @JamesW can probably tell you how to get there.

You could always call them and ask. Give them the cell serial number shown in your picture.

Thanks to everyone! OmniLogic says TCELLS340, but it does not look anything like the pic on Hayward's website: TurboCells | Sanitizers | In Ground Pool Sanitizers - Hayward Pool Products
I'll try to call Hayward next week to see what they say.

How many plates in the cell?

What are the diagnostic readings?

Register the equipment with Hayward to see what cell comes up from the serial number.

You have a 40K T-15 cell.

Hayward has changed their cell design and you have the old design cell that Blue Haven white labels.

Looking like the value I see in the OmniLogic settings isn't automatically read from the cell, but rather my pool company guy set it manually. That probably explains why the OL was showing my salt level was 1600ppm while the pool store's analysis says 3500ppm. Pool guy has now changed my setting to T-Cell-9, and ppm numbers are looking better (but I still don't think it's correct). I see now on the bottom of the Blue Haven cell it says Sanitizer Cell 20 -- which I believe is only a 20k gallon model (not the 40k I paid for). Can anyone confirm that?

I would call a blue haven dealer & ask.
Maybe just not the one who sold the cell to you.

Thanks! I emailed them last night, and they have already replied confirming it is only a 20,000 gallon cell. So now I need to get the pool company to replace it with a 40k unit since that was specified on my contract!

 

[Mdragger88]

Bravo

Just to put a bookend on this, the pool company brought out a Blue Haven Sanitizer Cell 40 and the Omni was changed back the the T-15 setting, and now the Omni salt numbers match the numbers I get from the local pool store. Thanks again to everyone that helped!
