    Aquarite Aqr T-3 15k cell check cell, low salt error

    Update: I took the cell to two locations where they have the tester and the cell is dead. I then called Hayward and he confirmed this. I did learn something I did not know and that is that the cell is 3months away from the 3 years and they replace it 100% but some pool stores want to charge a...

    Aquarite Aqr T-3 15k cell check cell, low salt error

    That is a great idea. I did not even think of that. I called Luli pools in my area and they told me it tells them wether it is good or bad so I guess that is what I need. I do know that my cell is not big enough for the size pool. Rule of thumb is that the system is twice the size of the pool...

    Aquarite Aqr T-3 15k cell check cell, low salt error

    I have an 8500gallon in groun diamond brite pool with a 2y 10moth aquarite aqr arrid climate T-3 15k cell. After all the rain from Tropical storm Isaac I was getting check cell, low salt. My salt reading was 2400 before all the rain. I cleaned the cell in muratic acid 1 to 4 parts as it had...

    Is there no tech support?

    I think it depends on who is on the other side of the phone. I have had good and bad experiences with poolpilot but mainly they've been good. I have a bad cell cable and the were able to diagnose and send me a new one under warranty. I've also had a bad board but this one seem more difficult to...

    Setting initial salt level for aquarite How to?

    Two days after I installed the system it started reading a normal level of 3600-3700 and its been working great producing enough chlorine at 50% output. I really like this system so far plus the parts are more reasonably priced than my prior system.

    Setting initial salt level for aquarite How to?

    Its reading 3400ppm and the test from Pinch a penny was 3300. Tech support told me it could be off by 500ppm and it's at the lower end of the sensitivity. They also told me you cannot change the reading but you can reset it. The cell is 4days old so cleaning it would not make a difference. Its...

    Setting initial salt level for aquarite How to?

    Thanks. That is good to know for future reference. My buddy has had an error message (low salt/check cell) for 2yrs but its been producing chlorine so he has let it be. Mine started reading 3200 this morning with no errors so its pretty accurate compared to the 3300 tested a few days back.

    AutoPilot SC-48 Reading "Low Amps"

    Not sure if it was a low voltage or amp but I think I had a similar issue a long time ago and it turned out to be the cell cable the part that attaches to the main panel and not the cell. Apparently I rolled the excess cable and let it dangle and the weight pulled the attachment and with time it...

    Setting initial salt level for aquarite How to?

    I just installed the aquarite aqr-x296 arid climate T-3 15k gallon salt system and the salt level on my pool is 3300ppm as it was checked yesterday. I did the initial setup prior to connecting the cell to the t-3. I have software version 1.5. When i first turned it on with the cell connected...

    Aqua-rite SWS cell installation, which way does it go.

    The official word from www.goldlinecontrols.com tech support is that the cell can go either way. The tech support person told me that people have been flipping it the opposite way after they clean the cell.

    Aqua-rite SWS cell installation, which way does it go.

    Does this mean I should call you? Off the subject someone or maybe its you used this same unique avatar on another website (gpsunderground.com) and I helped them with their gps Mio H610. Is that you. It seems like it does not mater which way the cell goes. With autopilot it is clearly labeled...

    Aqua-rite SWS cell installation, which way does it go.

    I figured either end should be ok but they should state that in the manual. Both fittings are the same size so it can be flipped.

    Aqua-rite SWS cell installation, which way does it go.

    I recently dumped my autopilot dig 220 after 6 yrs for $300 since the digital board went and it was going to cost $350 to replace. I bought the aqua-rite aqr-x296 arid climate one with a 15k cell. Looking at the instructions I could not find anywhere which way the cell should face. I know the...

    The reliability of SWG's

    I agree with you 100%. Its a misleading name. Does it look like a good ssytem. They have a better warranty than most of the top brands. I think its 5yrs vrs 3yrs. I am shopping around next week once I sell my autopilot in parts.
