Thanks for the reply Pat. Where did you find the manual on-line?
The white clould disipates and does not cloud up the pool. I'll check the chlorine readings tonight.

Typed in Pure and Clear in Google without SWG, and came up with the URL below. It's the second PDF. The white cloud then is the hydrogen as I thought.

Thanks Pat. The chlorine levels at the cell are much higher (~ 4ppm). So, it looks like the cell is working. I'll keep reviewing and looking for a replacement, but for now it looks like it might make it one more summer.
Which SWG do you have, or which do you like?

Pure & Clear is obsolete, company was bought out by Polaris a few years ago, but Polaris does NOT support the Pure & Clear model.
You can get replacement (remanufactured) cells here http://www.saltcells.com/replacement...c-21_108.html;
I've also seen at least one other place that was selling "original" equuipment (suspicious of this)
I have the Pure & Clear also, but my cell is totally dead now. Iwas thinking of ordering the replacement cell (for $250) but my unit has a few problems besides the cell: the pump sensor circuit does not work - the unit thinks the pump is running all the time. I traced out the circuit, and I can't see that it ever could work.
Does the "period" LED between the 2 numbers blink about 1 per second with the pump on and pump off like mine does? The blinking "dot" indicates that the unit thinks the pump is running .
I also noticed that 2 large electrolytic capacitors in the power supply are "bulging" which is a bad sign![]()
All in all, I'm thinking of ordering an entirely new SWG system for around $700
good luck

Saltcells.com does not have reman replacements. I did find one vendor that claims to have 6 original cells left at a price of $262. I'm like you though, I think that money may be better spent on a replacement system.
Mine does know when the pump is on or off.
Which system are you thinking of buying?

I'm looking closely at the "AquaRite" made by Goldline,company just purchased by Hayward. Since Hayward is a big name in pool equipment, and the AquaRite has a 5 year warranty, I'd feel a lot better than buying from small unknown company, like Clear-Tech was!!!![]()
Priced less than $700 on the New, doesn't include installation , but I can probably handle the electrical, and pay $75 - $ 100 to plumb it.
