Hi all! I’ve potentially lost yet another board due to a strong thunderstorm last night. Definitely some electrical burn near power output. What is the best way to protect against this? I have a GFI circuit breaker but not sure if that protects against everything? It definitely didn’t protect...

So I have a friend that is just getting started with his pool. He mentioned that it did have a hint of green tint to it. He took his water sample to the pool store, and was told "your levels are good." However, they also told him he has metal in his pool water due to his water source being...

Yeah that does make sense. If I were to just use the top of the cylinder and glue or somehow fasten to cover that hole it would have to be very strong, as it would need to support someone's weight. I wonder if epoxy would do it. Or if epoxy would do it, I wonder if just epoxy on that lip...

Thanks for the reply. I attached some more pictures. The steps themselves are hollow inside, so I don't know if bags of sand would work. I did think about putting some kind of metal loop around the top of the cylinder that could both keep it from sliding down and be supported to either side...

Hi all! So I have these wedding cake stairs that we absolutely love. They have weighted cylinders that slide down and hang on a little lip in one of the steps. The only problem is that where the weights "hang" that little lip has started to tear off. Is there anyway to repair this or...

Hey man how's it going? Yah this was last year's board. I was concerned about what caused the scorching in the first place, and wasnt sure if i should try repairing since it looked like there was damage to the path from that last relay. What could cause something like that? It makes me think...

Hi all! So a little late opening the pool this year. Went out and installed all my gear, Aquatrol RJ, pump etc. Pump wouldn't power on, and noticed a flickering on the display, half characters showing up, just generally all screwed up looking. So I started testing. Noticed that if I put any...

Hi all! Any guidance for Aquatrol-RJ not turning on the pump, even while set to ON? Confirmed the pump works fine. Thoughts?

Turns out this was as easy as taking out the four bolts on the back of the motor and simply rotating the impeller housing!

Hi all. I am replacing my burned out motor + impeller with the same model from Hayward. However the new one has the outlet in the vertical position whereas the old one has it in the horizontal so that it is directly connected to the filter housing. Is it possible or even recommended to...

2 years :( I'm going to go ahead and order one and call around to some local pool shops that have been helpful in the past and see if they have any suggestions. I'll report back if I get lucky.

All the diag guides say if this reading isn't correct to replace the PCB :(

Also this is an RJ model, no flow switch.

It displays AL-0. Yes pump runs when timer not plugged in. I see no visible damage to either cell port, plug or cord.

Looks like I might have more problems, as I just checked and unit is reading no flow and is not generating chlorine. Confirmed timer is good, continuity switched off/on depending on timer switch positions. Removed two black wires and not picking up any resistance reading on two black...

So after hooking this back up, the pump fired right up! However, now the issue is that the timer does not appear to work! The pump always has power no matter what position the timer switch is in. Any ideas?

After MUCH trial and error I finally got the new U13 part soldered in. Sure enough I now have 5vdc on TP 14! It looks disgusting but it seems to work. I powered the unit up and have the LEDs! What else can I check to ensure normal operation? One time I plugged it in and all od the LEDs were...

Yes this forum has saved me multiple times. Best community I've ever seen! Mouser had 500+ in stock, digikey was back ordered with no estimate on when it would ship, in case anyone finds this thread later! I'll for sure report back here when I get the part in. Thanks so much!!

I ordered it off mouser, man 8 bucks to ship a 45 cent part. Better than 300 bucks to replace the whole board! I have only ever soldered one thing before which were capacitors which go through the board. Any tips for soldering this chip? I have some thin solder on the way as well.

Man so glad we got that cleared up, what a point of confusion! Thanks for your patience and help. Yes confirmed TP 13 is 5 V (not mV), and TP 14 is 0.
