Need to purchase new board for Aqua Rite SWG. Any suggestions on what online retailers sell actual Hayward parts?

I have an Aqua Rite SWG. Yesterday I noticed it was blank- both the LCD and no lights. I took the face plate off and everything looked ok. It is 12 years old. I have soldered it once already, prob about 8 years ago. After turning everything on and off it came back to life, however, today...

Thanks for sharing this info Kim. It’s helpful to hear the experiences of others.

I apologize if this has already been asked... I need to replace the in line filter assembly for my Polaris 280. Any recommendations on the best online store for replacement parts? I’m seeing a huge difference in pricing. I don’t want to overpay but also don’t want to buy junk. Thanks

Ok, that was a great question and boy do I feel dumb. I tested our tap four times (with the TF-100 test kit) and it came out at 100-150 each time.

Hi Everyone, We have a SWG and live in Northern Ca where the water is very hard. Over time we have developed a lot of calcium buildup on the tile, etc. in addition, we have noticed white flakes coming out of the returns the past couple years. We also saw a lot of buildup in the cell. We...

I received my TF-100 Kit today. It came with some Aqua Check Salt Strips. How accurate have others found these to be? Here are the numbers from my first test session with the TF: FC: 14 CC: 0 PH: 7.8 TA: 120 CYA: 70 Is it normal to have such a high FC? My cell is generating at about 40%...

We are in Northern California near Sacramento. Our water is very hard here. That is another issue we struggle with. I will post my numbers as soon as I get the kit. Thanks again!

Thank you for the direction. I will start the SLAM process and just ordered the TFtest kits. I was using the AquaCheck strips...I know, I know. :eek:

We live in Northern CA and just opened up our pool after winter. We had to drain it many times (probably half the water) over the winter due to excessive rain. Our salt level read around 1500 so I added three bags of salt very slowly over the past 7-10 days. As of today it is now reading...

Cliff: I agree with what you have said. Unfortunately I live in Northern California and we are in a pretty serious drought. I can't drain and refill my pool. I really wish I could at this point. Is there another solution?

Sorry I was relying on memory and reversed the numbers- My first post was accurate...my CYA is 90 and TA is 110. I finally talked to the pool guy today. He said my filter cartridges are wearing out which is contributing to the problem (he actually did mention this when he cleaned them back on...

Re: The mystery is unfolding He used soda ash to blast the deposits off.

The mystery is unfolding I have posted here a couple times in the past few days. I hope I'm not wearing out my welcome. This board has been very helpful to me. Bear with me for one more post, I have a little more info, hopefully someone has had the same issue and knows how to resolve it...

How much bleach? Pool is about 12,000 gallons.

As of yesterday afternoon the CYA was 90.

Going on vacation for about ten days. Have had some issues with SWG recently. It seems to be working fine right now but am nervous about an issue arising while we are gone. Is it a bad idea to put a chlorine tablet in the skimmer before we leave as a precautionary measure? I have a friend...

Thanks for the reply. Here is some additional info that may help: *no water has been added except through the auto fill. * pool use has remained consistent, no excessive splash out or big parties. Here are some numbers: FC 4.0 PH 7.8 TA 110 CYA 90 Salt reading could not be provided through...

We have a Aqua Rite salt system, T-15 cell, about four years old. Had the cell cleaned about 7-10 days ago by a trusted pool service provider. We usually do it ourselves but he was here for something else (removing scale from tiles) and we were lazy. Ever since then I noticed a LOT of "white...

Found this video on you tube, pretty helpful info. http://youtu.be/tPL_YnvWumk

I'm in the same boat as Boerne. No lights on the generator, out of the blue last week. Would it be possible for you all to post pics of the parts you are referring to? I don't know what a "limiter" is- a pic could assist. I did look at my board, and to my uneducated eye everything looked...

We had probably let it go 6 months ( I know, shame on us). However, there was very little build up. It is generating, the pool looks great and the aqua rite is not saying high salt. The funny thing is that after the cleaning it displayed 3400, then went to 3500 a couple days later, then 3600 a...

I have an Aqua Rite Salt Generator. It was running around 3000 to 3100 at the beginning of the season. We had the cell cleaned about a month ago and now it is up to 3700. I have not added ANY salt since we had the cell cleaned. Is this common? Do you all think that the 3700 is an accurate...

We just bought a Polaris 280 about a month ago. It was working fine, but for the past 2 weeks it gets stuck on our steps and literally will stay there the entire time it is set to run. The back up valve is working as I have checked it many times and it will pull the Polaris out of other parts...

Thanks for the replies. I'm still learning about this system and sometimes can't find the answers in the manual. Thank goodness for this board!

Good idea. It is a Goldline SWG and it has a t-15 cell. The pool was put in last summer so the unit is just under a year old.

For the past two days I have noticed something with my SWG. It seems to be working fine in the late morning. It is generating, I see the bubbles coming from the return and the panel says it is generating. However, when I come home in the afternoon, it still says it is generating on the panel...
