Hello

After 2 years of trouble free operation of my SWG, I found the cell terminals burnt out as on attached picture.
For now I take this as something that "just can happen" while I work with pool shop to see whether this can be passed in warranty.

That said what I am interested in is to know:
- whether this is a "common" problem using this particular type of cable-to-cell connection
- whether there are "tricks" to reduce the chance of this issue occuring.



Thanks
Fred

I'm going out on a limb here and going to say that doesn't look like something that "just happens". That looks like it could have been a serious fire hazard had it gone undetected.
I hope they replace that under warranty for you, that's not "normal" wear and tear.

Also, your want to create a signature so users can see what size your pool is and what equipment you have.

it's normal for contacts to burn out when the person maintaining the pool hasn't kept them clean and/or ensured there is a good contact and connectors aren't loose. that goes for any contacts, not just pool specific.

having said that, the design looks like it would be more prone to them burning out due to small contact surface. or at least it looks that way on the photo.
