I'm not a troll I post hear all the time.

I have a strong suspicion that this is a troll or (pretty decent) humor.

I have an identical system and it's great when it works. Unfortunately,
I've had terrible problems with the system that came with the house. It
was the older analog version and the Turbocell would fail every year or
two, despite being kept very clean. Nobody ever had a reason for the
failure. Finally, I replaced my analog system with the newer digital
version. Most of the items were the same, except for the diagnostics. So
far, so good.

My reason for making this post is that I possibly have come up with what
might have contributed to the problem or even been the problem. In the
literature, you are told to occasionally immerse the cell in dilute HCL to
boil out the deposits. I did this 3-4 times a year, using a 5-gallon
bucket. In the digital version's information book, it states that you
should also be careful to NOT immerse the outer part of the cell where the
wiring harness connects.

That would be virtually impossible to do in a 5-gallon bucket. In my
case, I used an extra plumber's union, connected to a short capped off 2"
piece of PVC to make a dead end for the cell. Now, I can remove it from
the system and screw on the dead end, standing it upright. I then premix
a dilute HCL solution and pour it into the upright cell. Nothing ever
gets on the outside or by the wiring harness.

Goldline now will SELL you an already made up device that does precisely
this. Perhaps they've learned what causes the problem as well, now. It
is a good investment.

I just installed a Aqua Rite Electronic Chlorine Generator made by
Goldline Controls Inc. Everything went smooth, Plumbing the turbo cell &
flow meter was a lot easier than I thought.Wiring the electronic
control was a breeze even for me with a limited knowledge of electrical
stuff. Now hears were I'm having a problem, the pool supply said I need
550 Lbs. of salt ( the electric flow in the turbo cell turns the salt
into chlorine) they only had 400Lbs he said to put the bags of salt in
the pool and spread them around they will dissolve in a couple hours. So
that's what I did , well it's been 2 days the bags are still sitting on
the bottom of the pool. The water is pretty cold , maybe it's just to
cold to dissolve the bags? Maybe they have been on the shelf to long? I
did get the last he had. If I could get them out I could take them back
for new ones. My son said he would get in and get them , but besides the
cold water he is only 10, 50Lbs. bags would be hard to lift for him.
Maybe me and my wife could get them but she can hardly swim.I should of
known everything was going to smooth any suggestions? Thanks in
