Since my "new" system is not operating at the amps or volts normally to be expected I have to conclude that while it may be working to some extent it is not functioning to its optimum. My best guess is I was sold a used or defective system. I will be following up on this with my dealer and if necessary Hayward.
I am particularly upset with being lied to by the Hayward rep who claimed there were 2 T-15 Cels. In response to an inquiry direct to Hayward they said there was only one T-15. I will definitely let Hayward know of this deception.

By the way a phosphate test indicated my level was only 500, which is really not very significant, but anyway I have now added a phosphate remover and a clarifier.

Also, I am still at 3500, 26+volts and 3.2+ amps, temp 86(today).

I am going to ask the dealer for a complete replacement. I have hesitated to open the cel to see if it is calcified or otherwise compromised but will ask him to do so to satisfy my curiosity.

Thanks to everyone for all your help.
