This is my 3rd board over the past 17 years and just put in last year. Started getting intermittent no cell power and no cell power 2 errors this weekend. Checked the k1 relay and no burn marks. I went ahead and resoldered the pin anyway. Can anyone tell me what this circled area on the board...

I am an idiot. I had left the multimeter on ac voltage from measuring the yellow and orange wires. Reading is the correct 24v when switching to DC on thw multimeter. I went ahead and swapped out boards to a new board I had purchased last year just in case. To my surprise it had one higher...

Was getting high salt/amps error yesterday with the numbers jumping all over before when in diagnostic mode before shutting down. I was getting a no cell power 1 error. I have soldered the k1 relay many times in the past. I was going through the Hayward trouble shooting worksheet and getting...

The pins inside the salt cell power cord.

I just went through a similar situation, My positive polarity was reading 3100 ppm and negative polarity was reading 2400 ppm. Took it to a local pool store to have the Hayward cell tested and unfortunately they bent the pins when connecting to the tester. I had a great outcome though as the...

I just had a tristar 950 installed and it controls my filter/in-ground pop ups. My waterfall is on a separate super II pump. I was looking to see if its possible hook up and run the waterfall with a 2 speed pump to have better control(lower output for sound) of the waterfall. I don't want to...

I went ahead and purchased a knock off version of the pickit3 from Amazon. I had the local hayward tech come out this past week and he upgraded my firmware from 4.20 to 4.46 on my main board to get better funcions/options out of my Tristar 950 VSP. I had picked up a spare prologic controller...

I have been trying to find out why my controller box/transformer has been running so hot since my new 950 vsp was installed last week. I replaced the transformer and still is hot. I was looking through the installation manual and stated the pump shoukd not be wired to the filter relays but...

It just seems too hot. Can't hold my hand on the back of the panel where the transformer is for more than a second(165 degrees this am). Another call out to measure the temp of the box behind the transformer when the pump is running would be greatly appreciated.

just replaced my transformer last night. The two yellow wires go below the yellow 20 amp fuse. On my board, the wire on top of the transformer goes on top, right under fuse, the bottom transformer wire goes below that one. On the bottom right corner of the board, the four color connectors go...

I have been in contact with hayward tech support just today regarding how hot my prologic electrical box/near where the transformer is. 160 degrees plus on backside of the cabinet. I asked them the operating temp of the transformer and they told me they are not authorized to give me the specs...

My pump installer was able to get the local Hayward rep/tech to swing by my house today and upgraded the firmware from 4.20 to 4.46. Now able to run all 4 timers and speeds amongst other options. :D
