I cannot get my chlorine generator to work at all. We just drained, cleaned, and refilled the pool. Spent nearly $2000 on a new filter. Now the chlorine won’t work. I am not sure if it has since we moved in. It shuts off due to high temperature and is reading my water at about 150f. True temp is probably about 80f. The cell is relatively clean. I have dumped so much money into this pool and there are zero competent pool service people near me who can help. I am desperate. Please help!
Please help. Temp too high?

You mentioned you added a new filter and redid some plumbing. Can you post a after picture? Don’t know how that could cause a high temp but a picture may help some of the experts assist.

ks,
Tell us what is reading 150 F... Most likely the temp probe is bad
Thanks,
Jim R.

ks,
Sorry, I am not up on Hayward equipment.
Is that a Hayward cell?? If so, it is not like most of them that I have seen.

I hope an expert will contradict me, but looking at the diagram in the SWG manual, the end with the cable is on the return side. Your picture shows the other way around. Is it plumbed in backward?

Never mind (I guess). A diagram later in the manual shows the other way around.

This is interesting info… I can’t open your link, but the guy who installed the new filter redid all the plumbing. I really hope he didn’t do it backwards…

That is not a Hayward cell. It is a 3rd party cell that does not look to be compatible with your system.
Both your temperature and amps are too high. Amps should be in the mid 6s and never above 10.

Do you have the Sense and Dispense system on your Aquarite Pro?

maya be that filter is different then mine but the in and out look backwards?
Can somebody here confirm that has that model filter?
Never mind I was looking at it wrong

Link is fixed. Also, found a later diagram where the plumbing is shown the other way around. I got the SWG type from your signature. If it's actually not the Aquarite pro, ignore all.
Just looking for a cell with the same appearance, this looks like a match.

I think it is similar to this one I found online: Platinum Edition Replacement Salt Cell for Hayward T-CELL-15 | 40,000 Gallons | 5-Year Warranty
Says it’s compatible for but idk. I don’t see an option to change amps
The temperature sensor is probably bad.
The amps are over 8.0, which might mean that the salinity is very high.
How old is the cell.
Reverse polarity and see what the readings are.

We have had other members have problems with their cells and their systems worked properly when they used a genuine Hayward cell.
No way to change amps. The system determines the amps based on what it sees with the cell.

You don't think the amps are high because the temperature sensor is high?
Could this be one of the Hayward boards with a 10 amp limit rather than 8?
