Disregard pool in signature.
Opened an IG APPROX 20,000 Gal vinyl pool which was closed for three years via TFP and passed the slam now with perfect water. The water was dark green and I couldn't have done it without the wonderful active forum which gave me all the incite needed just by reading the daily new posts. You know you have been educated when you know the answers to a good part of the questions being posted. SO THANKS AGAIN TO EVERYONE.
Here's my question.
This pool has an Goldline Aqua Rite SWG with a T-9 cell. The max salinity recommended is 3500 ppm and my Taylor 1766 tells me I have 4200 ppm (2 weeks ago) or by now more as I was still in the process of clearing up the water and dumping in the chlorine. How do I go about reducing the salt level to Aqua Rite spec. I'm told too much salt will burn it up rather quick. I'm not even sure the cell has life at all being this was a home purchase 3 years ago and pool was closed. Is there a way to check the cell prior to bringing up the CYA to 80 in case the cell is dead and they want to wait till next season to spend on a new cell. They could go the way of liquid chlorine for the rest of the summer so I don't want the high CYA just yet. Is there a good after market cell that has been good to recommend . I would jump to the next larger cell (40,000 gal) as this is a max 25000 gallon cell and this control can support it. Any advice will be greatly appreciated.
FC-9 (coming out of slam)
CC-.5
PH-7.6
