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...

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...

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...

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...

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.

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...

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.

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...

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...

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.

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...

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.

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...

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.

http://www.discountsaltpool.com/SG_Specs.htm Here is a decent salt system comparison. It carries a few systems but not all.

Autopilot instruction book used to recommend 4part water/1part muratic acid and soak for 15min with the cell sumerged in the solution. Now I was told that they recommend pouring the acid through and not soaking it into the acid.

Can you name the systems that you have had. Just for comparison purpose.

I looked at your link but I had never heard of that brand. It seems less expensive considering the size cell 40k. The most popular are autopilot, aquarite, and swimpure. I cannot find any consumer guide to these systems. I find that the autopilot system has a 5-6yr lifespan. Mine and my next...

I've been having issues with my DIG-220 sc36. It started with low salt despite salt over 4000. I ran a slew of tests from swapping sensor cable/power cable. I finally called a tech rep at $95 and he swapped display board with a new one and that was it. The new card worked fine but he also told...

I called autopilot tech support again as suggested by Sean to try and return board for diagnoses, but the lady told me they could not do that. She recommended I call onsite support which I did and spent $95. Basically my display board is bad because the tech tested it against a brand new board...

Thanks Sean for your input last evening over the phone and troubleshooting my system. I will call on Monday and try to send in the unit for diagnosis.

Sorry Sean I just saw your post online. I called you back but it was 4:10pm. I left you a message with my phone number. Thanks for your post and hope to hear from you.

Thanks I have that. I ended up calling for a service call ($85)for next Tuesday. My pool looks good and I get a Chlorine reading but when they check water at Pinch they tell me no chlorine and 4700 salt. I bet you they'll tell me its the board and that I need a new board for $350.

I've tried everything to get this thing to run and nothing is working. My buddy is coming tomorrow to check the board and see if any capacitors are burned. I've been getting a low salt purifier off add 120lbs error despite my water salt level being at 4200ppm and 0 chlorine. I tried a brand new...

Thanks . I'll try that tonight after work. Hopefully my unit allows it. Its about 6yrs old. I also brought water to be tested at the local pool store and I can calibrate salt in system. Does the amp reading have anything to do with the cable being loose. Last time my cable was damaged and that...

I was not aware that I had to enter an actual pool size. I didn't see it in the menu. I did calibrate the salt to the amount that the pool store told me but it diverts back to 1900-2000ppm. I've been reading other posts that mention it could be a cable issue. I've had that same issue with the...

I an autopilot DIG 220/SC36 which keeps saying low salt, 1900ppm reading, add 112lbs of salt. I had added 80lbs a couple of days back and nothing. I added another 40lbs today and initially it read 4400ppm, then 2800ppm and it was running without the error or light blink. Half hour later back to...

I have a similar issue where mine keeps saying low salt, 1900ppm reading, add 112lbs of salt. I had added 80lbs a couple of days back and nothing. I added another 40lbs today and initially it read 4400ppm, then 2800ppm and it was running. Half hour later back to the same error. My reading...

Mine had the same issue where I found the display off. I took cover off and noticed the fan wasn't spinning. Called support who told me it was $75 for the fan and that it can fry unit if not running. Went to Radio shack and bought it for $13. It is supposed to spin all the time when it works right.
