If you are looking for an inexpensive solution that anyone can do, I have found one. The antenna is a whip type. When you open the box up, you will see that it is mounted through the box and held in place by a nut. The cable leading from the antenna comes up through a hole in the PCB to a...

I was looking through this post and noticed that your salt level being reported is 7700. I'm assuming that is ppm since the next number is reporting pool temperature at 74F. If your salt level is 7700, then it is too high and the SWG will not turn on. I would take a water sample to the pool...

Ronald - If you do some search, you will see that the iAqualink Rev T.2 doesn't work with the AquaRite. Jandy decided to ignore AquaRite SWGs. If you have powered up the 2 products connected by the RS485, the iAqualink is now locked out of being used with any SWG. But this is not the end of...

If you look at other posts, you will see that Jandy changed the software so that it will no longer works with your AquaRite. Also post in the forums, people have reported using a device called "Chlorinator Translator" to allow the Aqualink to control the AquaRite. Search for Chlorinator...

@Ronald007, since you are now running Rev T2, using the webpage or app, you can check the status of the RS485 devices. To do this go to Help, then press next until the list of RS485 device is shown. Let us know when is listed.

Since it worked before, the old SWG might have been wired to be powered on when the pump is on. Since to replaced it, you might have disconnected the pump wires and not connect them back up. I would recommend checking your wiring. If you don't have a electrical knowledge, you should get...

Have you tried contacting the manufacture of the Chlorinator Translator and see if they can help?

BB - Yes the red box in your picture is the RS485 interface connector. As for the ground, the ground on the connector is the ground reference for both the RS485 and the ground for the 10V. So, yes connect the 10V ground to the RS485 ground. DO NOT connect this ground to earth ground in the...

I think you are a little confused. The RJ connector on the bottom of the case (flow control) is just an input from a switch that tells the AquaRite that there is water flow in the pipe. If there is no water flow, the AquaRite doesn't turn on the cell. This connector is not the RS485...

FYI - SWG stands for Salt Water Generator. The AquaRite is a SWG. So, what do you have connected to the AquaRite's communications connector? If you look at the manual for the AquaRite, there is a 4 pin connector on the board. This normally gets connected to the AquaLink or other pool control...

badabing - To answer this inquiry, yes, since the Aquarite was supported by the earlier Aqualink RS systems, you can see and control the SWG. The issue is if the SWG is already connected to an Aqualink system, all you can do is listen to the data packets going back and forth. If it isn't and...

badabing - I think you might have miss read something about the Chlorinator Translator. I believe it works with Aqualink RS and PDA systems. Also it works with the Rev T, T1, and T2 with the iAqualink. So, if you haven't found a solution, you might want to revisit it and even contact them...

This information has just come to me. At first it was thought that Jandy started locking out SWGs with Rev T. Well, on the 52 pin chip, they did it for Rev M, MM, and MMM.

Coolpool2008, since you indicated that you have iAqualink and have connected the AquaRite to it and power the system up, you have most likely locked out all SWGs from your system. If you had gone to the web page for your system and gone to the Help menu, you can press the NEXT button until you...

The reddish orange connector is a RS485 interface. It is design to have multiple devices connected to it. So you can place more than one wire in each of the screw terminal connection. Just note what wire you put in each position as Uncle Flappy told you. Waiting to hear if you get it working...

You indicated that you just had a new SWG put in. I would look at the SWG panel. There is a LED 4th from the top that is labeled "Remotely Controlled". If that LED is not lit, the installer might not have reconnected the RS485 communications link between the AquaLink and AquaRite. With out...

Just noticed you post. Have you been able to get it working? The grey cable has you did see has 4 conductors in them. If you trace the other end back to the Jandy box is it connected to anything? Be careful when in the Jandy box. There is a high voltage area and a low voltage area. The...

Lets see if I can answer your question. As of Rev T, the Aqualink will lock out all SWGs including their own product, AquaPure. There are some earlier reveision of the AquaRite that when you select AL-5 will simulate the AquaPure, but I believe Hayward has changed that setting to no longer...

If I'm correct, AquaLink Rev HH does not support Aqua Rite chlorine generator. Jandy didn't add it until Rev I and blocked support as of Rev L. Yes you can just power up the AquaRite, but you will not be able to control it.

I have the dates if needed, but the real information is what revision your Aqualink RS is running. Aqualink RS revisions I thru K supported AquaRite. Aqualink RS revision L and on would report the AquaRite as "NOT COMPATIBLE". And as of revision T, if you connect an AquaRite up to Aqualink...

You are lucky that your Aqua Rite AL-5 supports the AquaPure mode. New information has come to me. Hayward seems to have stop supporting the AL-5 that would permit the Aqua Rite to work with Aqualink. So the people that have a different revision of the Aqua Rite may not support the AquaPure...

New information has come to me. Hayward seems to have stop supporting the AL-5 that would permit the Aqua Rite to work with Aqualink. So you are still rolling the dice if it will work or not. Also, replacing the CPU will not fix the issue. The issue is on the main board logic board, not the...

As you asked, link to the company website is: Chlorinator Translator. Even on their order page, they have a note that if you have a Rev T. or newer, you need to contact them first. I have been very happy with the product.

Why do you say that it will not work with your Z4? I did a quick look at the manual and it does support SWG. So, one would think the Z4 would work with a AquaPure.

I have added the product name in my list of equipment that I run on my pool. Please see the list.

From your list of equipment, your SWG is an AquaRite. Your new setup will not be able to communicate with the AquaRite unless to take proper steps before powering up the 2 pieces of equipment for the first time. Depending on the revision of the AquaRite is, you will need to change the...

I have found a solution to locked "NOT COMPATIBLE" Rev T Aqualinks. I purchased a device that connects the Aqualink to an AqauRite but since I had already connect them directly, my Aqualink as locked. The company I purchased the device from offers a service to unlock your Aqualink. Since I...

Did you ever get the AquaRite to work? If not what revision of Aqualink are you running?

Need more information: Are you still running Rev K on the Aqaulink or did you upgrade? What SWG and revision is it running?

For those that are interested, Jandy/Zodiac as of Rev T has place in their code that if the Aqualink sees an non-compatible SWG, it will remember this and even their own AquaPure will not work. So if you have powered up your Aqualink with the AqauRite or private label connected directly, you...
