    Csm comm error no cell power

    Good find. Take your burnt fuse into an auto parts store and get yourself another spare fuse or two. Chlorinator % depends on the amount of chlorine your pool needs every day. How do you test your water chemistry? What test kit do you use? Do you have ?

    MasterTemp 250 vs. 400 heater parts

    How much corrosion is in the heater? Mice urine causes more corrosion. Corrosion causes the flame sense current to get lost. https://www.troublefreepool.com/wiki/index.php?title=Heater_Flame_Sensing

    Cavitation caused by poor intake design?

    Just follow a process of elimination and simplify your plumbing one elbow at a time and see if you can get enough water flow to make the pump happy. Check that no pipes are collapsed internally or kinked with the flex hose.

    Replaced cell GLX-Cell-5

    Welcome to TFP. Check if your system is set for Low Salt Mode (approx. 1,500 PPM) or Normal Salt Mode (approx. 3,200 PPM). Also check if the J4 solder pads are jumpered and you are set to use the T-15 cell. https://www.troublefreepool.com/wiki/index.php?title=Hayward_AquaTrol_SWG

    Aquarite with T-15 Cell reading incorrect salt level

    Depends if you like discarding things that are perfectly good and only half used. Having a replacement cell on hand to swap in when your current one stops generating could be wise.

    New pool, new owner, always having issues...

    Note that to us a TurboCell 325 rated at 25,000 gallons is undersized for a 25,000 gallon pool. We recommend a cell be 2X your pool volume. A T-15 340 cell rated at 40,000 gallons will be better. The root cause of your continuing algae problems is likely you are not running your small cell at...

    Aquarite with T-15 Cell reading incorrect salt level

    The cell salinity calculation declines as it depletes. That is normal wear. When the instant salt is less then 75% of measured salt level the cell is due for replacement. https://www.troublefreepool.com/wiki/index.php?title=Hayward_Aquarite_SWG#Determining_Salinity

    Seeking advice on new construction plaster situation

    How different is the wrong color? You are building a pool to swim in and not a work of art. I suggest the builder give you a money back for not demanding he redo the tile and plaster and you invest it for when the pool needs to be redone in a few years.

    Running filter without DE

    Depends on the model DE filter we are discussing. Some DE filters use cartridges that can be run with or without DE since the cartridge can be cleaned. Old style DE filters use grids to hold the DE. The grids cannot be cleaned if you run them without DE and they get clogged with dirt. The...
