    is my system not accurately telling me the salt level?

    Yes the cell was tested and it failed - i ordered a new one without question due to the age of it. Being that this is revision 1.4 and the cell clearly is labeled T-5, I have no doubt that this is the issue. When the cell arrives I'll start the process over again and should it still be an...

    is my system not accurately telling me the salt level?

    but isn't any T-15 cell meant for a pool up to 40K gallons? It sounds like if you were a T-5 user a new board would be used to accept a new T-3 cell. I'm assuming this just comes down to cost - a new board vs. a new cell. However; in my case the cell is so old the logic is to replace the cell...

    will do, and i'll try and reference the serial number again!

    is my system not accurately telling me the salt level?

    right above the cell connector on the printed cover, it states clearly T-5 - something else lead me to believe thats what it is - also an earlier post has the serial number of the cell. I would hope that what you're saying is evident when the cell is generating, ie. voltage drops slightly and...

    is my system not accurately telling me the salt level?

    I don't have the cell type showing up on my screen. everything is in the correct order as the manual states but after the software revision level, the screen goes back to the salt ppm? even when we were generating chlorine correctly that was the order of the display (pg 14 manual).

    is my system not accurately telling me the salt level?

    So the cell is beyond it's expected age limit. It had been working fine up to two months ago - corresponding to when the water temp started to drop around here. I cleaned it, it looked good. as suggested, I'd like to make sure that the unit is on the correct cell setting first, then we'll...

    is my system not accurately telling me the salt level?

    One thing that is confusing is that the cell display on my unit (at least that is what I think i'm looking at) is displayed as AL-0, AL-1, AL-2, AL-3, AL-4, AL-5. Which one of these corresponds to T-cell -5? We took over the house in Feb./2013 - the serial number on the cell is 5e0708-2116653...

    is my system not accurately telling me the salt level?

    Yes, the power light and the add salt light are on. I don't think I saw the check cell light on

    is my system not accurately telling me the salt level?

    Two good ideas, will try it tomorrow. If nothing changes, I'll pull the cell and have it tested again! Thanks JB

    is my system not accurately telling me the salt level?

    The cell may be a few years old - it was tested at pinch a penny and passed. About 2 months ago I gave it an acid bath which cleaned it up nicely. The water temp down here in Tampa started to change about a month ago or so. Currently my pool is about 74, but now that you mentioned it the...

    is my system not accurately telling me the salt level?

    I have an Aqua-rite 20 from hayward. The meter says I'm at 1900 ppm on the salt so the system is not generating. I took a salt strip test and I'm actually around 3800-3900ppm. Why is my system not accurately telling me the salt level? Thanks JB
