I realize that thing sits real close to the ground Maybe you can take a picture. -------------------- It's a chlorine generator! Not a salt water generator (SWG)!

If you had a valve closed and the pump was dead headed, it may weep some water. Pictures of the leak in action? -------------------- It's a chlorine generator! Not a salt water generator (SWG)!
