Getting a Jandy TrueClear replacement SWG cell

[edgarortiz1]

Just a quick update. So I received my leak / dye kit. . Turned off the pump, and waited till the water was fairly still. Released the dye around the returns, light (have one), skimmer area, and all possible leak areas my wife and I could think of/see. Nothing! I couldn't get close enough to the two (2) main drain so I still need to check that area. In any case, I won't go into detail, I ran my pump at a higher RPM and it started shooting out clouds of dirt in the return! I figured, I think I forgot to rinse after the backwash Since I still have 3 gal. of chlorine, I started the SLAM process again R-0871 is only good for one more test

I'll be starting another thread with my leak issue.

Good news! The leak was found and fixed! It was between the light niche and it conduit. Epoxy putty was used to seal it. I will still wrap butyl tape around the wires to seal the hole for additional insurance Water was added since I did not bother refill and seeing if it will go below returns. But leak was detected before that happened. About 5-6" of water level was added. This morning, water level is pretty much the same

So back to SLAM'ing. I started yesterday PM after brushing the pool and the numbers are:

10/30 at 2:30PM
pH - 8.2 (added 14 oz. MA to drop to 7.5)
FC - 4 (added 255 oz. liq. chlorine to raise FC to 20)
CYA - 50 (SLAM FC level needs to be 20)

10/30 at 6:15 PM
FC - 15 (added 72 oz. liq. chlorine)
CC - 0.5

10/30 at 9:30 PM
FC - 15 (did not add liq. chlorine, thinking it's still mixing with the water (?))
CC - 0
CYA - 50

10/31 @ 6:30 AM
FC - 15 ( added 72 oz. liq. chl0rine)
CC - 0

Vacuumed the pool.

My FC seems to be stuck at 15 despite the adding liq. chlorine. But will continue the process and check the water at noon and at sunset. Water seems to be cloudy and not clear as when I did the initial SLAM. Thoughts?

Nope, chlorine is well mixed after 15-30 minutes. That was slam loss.

That can be normal. If you can test and replace FC every 2-3 hours, that would be best.

Take a picture every day from the same location. Post those. We'll compare day over day and you will see progress.
