I ended up replacing the board - but it was the black round thing that got burned out - you can resolder a new one - in my case I am keeping the old board and repairing it for the next time. I noticed that they put metal around the black thing. Sorry - don't know the name of the black thing but...

Hi to all My Aquarite is now in its 5th year of use. It is on its 2nd computer board and 2nd fuel cell. The fuel cell was replaced over the summer after it kept reading very low for the salt - and putting in a new one fixed it. Just came back from a trip and the pool is green. Apparently there...

Okay - thanks. I did always watch the Ph and cleaned it regularly - and kept the switch on low - like 30%. Thanks for the ebay link, too. I guess it is easy to unhook and just put the new one in? It looks like it plugs in pretty easily to the control board.

Hi Mark S and thanks for helping. Okay - I live in Florida so usually warm all year. In winter I keep the setting at about 30% and in summer about 50%. I usually run the chlorine at 3-5ppm. I have a 2 speed pump - so it is on full speed for 3 hours - at which time the chlorine generator shuts...

Okay - I can't believe I fell victim to this one. My aquarite has been reading low salt due to rain so I put in a bag. More rain and it is still low so 2 more bags. The reading is still low so I tested with my salt tester - and now it is 5700 according to the test kit but 2200 according to the...

You know, I was thinking after I posted this question - that I bet there is some PVC lid or something that fits it and does the job for much less - and here you are with this great solution. Okay - please expand on the directions on how to find "an expandable rubber plug" - if I go in Home...

THANK YOU! "Air Relief Valve" - that was one trouble maker today around here - and now it has a name!! I was thinking I might stock up on a couple of them because it broke on me last year and the online prices are always better.

You know, I have not done a lot of research on each of the brands - but I do have the Goldline AquaRite, which was put in when my pool was built and have had that for 2.5 years so I can tell you my experience. First of all, I almost never need to add bleach/chlorine and that is a good thing (I...

Okay - you know the housing for the cartridge filter? On top there is a pressure valve that shows the pressure of the pump and then next to that is this type of valve - you use it to bleed the air out of the system when turning the pump back on and water comes out? I need one and need to know...

http://cgi.ebay.com/Aquarite-or-Aquatro ... dZViewItem Just curious - the pool guy was just here to replace the electronic board for the AquaRite SWG that I have and he had one of those to clean the t-cell. I thought it made cleaning much easier since you don't need a huge bucket of acid water.

Okay - here is the scoop. Although my pool was built and complete in January 2006, the SWG I have is from 2004 and apparently they have upgraded the computer board several times since then to improve upon the design. So, to make a long story short, there is a component on that board that is...

I just got off the phone with Goldline - it appears that it might be a warranty issue based on the cereal number - a company they recommend is coming out tomorrow so I will keep you all posted! It was installed when the pool was built - January 2006.

Hi - please help! I have a Goldline AquaRite SWG - has been running trouble-free since January 2006. We went on a trip and came back to a green pool - zero cholorine!! The AquaRite has no lights on - meaning power LED light and generating lights are off - although it is showing the salt count...

The real skimmer socks are no different have used them too - panty hose is cheaper - the leaves still get in because they are tiny and there are millions of them. They are everywhere!! I think they get in when I empty the skimmer or from the gap in the side of the skimmer basket - they just do...

LOL!!!! I wonder if they could put that one in the Prius - can charge the battery while it is cleaning? Seriously - that is one fuel efficient car - we recently got one on an upgrade from a rental car company and could not believe we drove it everywhere - it got over 50 mph and only cost $25...
