Nature2 Fusion SWG and Minerals
We do not recommend using the minerals in a Fusion system. If you have a Fusion system it is best to use the SWG side with an empty mineral cartridge.
The minerals provide no sanitary advantage and can accumulate in your pool water and stain the pool surfaces.
Melted Connectors
Weekly check revealed no/low Cl levels. There were no No errors on the equipment (though a 'service' light was briefly seen). On inspection, the SWG electrodes melted.[1]
Probably had water leaking through the center pin around the edges.[2]
Remove the cell assembly and then remove the two screws between the pins and remove the cover plate that slides over the pins.
The screws are in the two holes under the corrosion.
As salt water gets up in the connection, the connection generates chlorine gas on one polarity and hydrogen gas on the other polarity. This causes corrosion and eventually complete failure.
Below the seal plate, there are O-rings on each pin that should seal the pins.
However, the seals can leak. The center pin seems to leak the most.
