Hey Sandy,

Thanks for the replies…

Update…. I decided Sunday, to take off the SWG, and take a peek inside, though only 2 or 3 weeks ago I had SOAKED it, and cleaned it. To my amazement, there was quite a bit of the white corrosion (I do knot know what it is called) between the plates, not an excessive amount, but clearly visible to my eye. I spent a good 45 minutes soaking, and cautiously cleaning it. I did notice, there was considerable build up at the sensors, where the plug goes into the unit.

Once cleaned, and cycled, the reading is now at 2800, and -2400 with no errors. I am wondering since I had the output at 84%, that this might be a bit high, so I lowered it to 60% to see what will happen. Ran all day Sunday (cycle is 9:00am-3:00pm daily) and today. It was fine this afternoon. I did the 5-drop test in the colored test kit, and had a GOOD yellow color, which made me feel better.

I am still concerned about its life, since I read some folks get 3000+++ in there readings. I have seen 3,000 one time since we have owned it. I am about 98% sure the cell is reaching the end of its life. I will (as usual) keep a close eye.

As for the serial#, 1A0208, I am guessing this means 2001 (the “1”) and January (the “A”) maybe…

Anywho, appreciate the follow up, and hope someone else can shed a bit more for me.
