I should add -- if you have ammonia in your pool, as a result of biodegradation of stabilizer over the winter, it may be working fine even though you can't see any effects.

Thank you, PoolDoc and Watermom. Still nothing. We've had the water tested at our local pool store and the free chlorine is .26, total chlorine .26 and combined chlorine= 0. We've got slimy floor and walls. The salt is 3400 ppm, right where it should be for the unit to be producing chlorine. Now... this is when I assume the SWG is defective.
One more recommendation, then.
+ Use plain 8% store brand bleach to bring your chlorine up to normal levels, and to maintain them for several days. THEN, see if the SWCG can keep up.
