Could you list what parts you used? I was at lowes today and was looking in the pvc parts for something I could put together. A 4'' canister and caps w/ hose threads. I didn't find any thing at all like it. Lucky (or unlucky) you! I found a picture. It looks like it was taken with an old Barbie camera, so apologies for the quality. You can barely see the gray colored thread adaptor at the right side. You can see the kitty litter I used, charcoal, and Scotch brite pad I cut down to keep the filter innerds from flowing out into the hose. If you have trouble finding the thread adaptors to go from hose threads to the pipe thread, ask a clerk. I had to ask everywhere I went looking for them. It looks like I did not use any PVC pipe at all but only used pipe fittings. This experiment was from June of 2003 so I've forgotten a lot since then. If you want to get an idea of a ratio of charcoal to kitty litter (zeolite), crack open a filter from one of those water filters you put into the container in your fridge (like a Pur). I was surprised to find only a few specks of black charcoal inside. Most of it is zeolite. Still luckier YOU! I just went out and searched the archives of my garage and found the filter. Here's a modern picture. As you can see I did use 2-inch PVC pipe in the middle. This picture shows the threaded parts much better. It has to come apart somewhere to fill, or refill, with the filter medium. The gray nipple on the left side is straight pipe threads, not hose threads. The female hose fits on the male pipe threads okay (not great), but at the other end I wanted a better solution. It is a real pipe to hose connector. If I had it to do over again I would use 3-inch pipe for more filter volume and less water speed through the filter medium.

The reading you see, unless you are in the Diagnostic menu is just an average. It may take a while for it to read correctly after installing a new cell. Possible old cell was dirty any you kept adding salt so salt is very high. Did you replace it with the same size cell? If you put in a different size and did not change it in the system it could cause false readings.

Apple has said that all 150,000 iPhone apps should work without a problem on the iPad. I will report in on Monday after I get mine. Pesh - you can create a macro in the ScreenLogic PC configuration setup. On page 2 of 5, you can create a new Feature Circuit and call it Lights. Then go into the Feature Circuit Configuration button and check off what existing circuits will come on when you activate Lights. After this, assign it to show up on the Water Features/Main page. Then it will show up on the Circuits page of the iPhone interface. Note: for a circuit to show up on the iPhone circuits page, it has to be assigned a location in ScreenLogic (Pool, Spa, or Water Features).

This morning I went out and I'm down to 1ppm again. I bumped it back up to 75% and will run it for 9 hours and see what it looks like tomorrow. My skimmer has a few ants in it, but that's it. So as long as I'm showing high levels after the SWG runs, then that should prove that the problem is not with my generator. I'm not sure how to check it on low speed. I just turned it to low speed on my remote, went to the diagnostics menu and it is reading my salt level and voltage. I'm assuming it's working if it's reading those items? It runs on low speed from 1am until 6am. Then my high speed kicks on at 8am until 11am. When I go out at 8am, my chlorine reading is low. I would think after running 5 hours even on low speed that I would have chlorine. After running it on high speed for 4 hours yesterday, I had plenty of chlorine.
