Aquapure dead, numbers slightly off and what stabilizer?

Waste,
I really have not added any salt this year so I will keep your recommendation in my mind. It seems to have been pretty stable so far. I will probably swing by Home Depot and see if they have any stabilizer. Worth a shot as 4lbs of stabilizer at Leslies is listed as $20.

One thing jumps out at me that might explain your problem. You have a calcium hardness of 600 ppm. Have you ever inspected your cell for scaling or cleaned the cell? With the calcium that high I would inspect and possibly clean the cell every few months to avoid problems. Also, keep your salt level at the HIGH end of the recommended range. It will help extend the life of your cell. Ditto for the CYA. It's a good idea to check both montly.

Also, if you keep your pH at 7.6 and when it climbs to 7.8 lower it back to 7.6 but not lower you will actually minimize your acid usage.
