    Issue with desoldering the thermistor from AquaRite main PCB

    Hi! I just wanted to get some help for desoldering the thermistor from the AquaRite main PCB, and I am wondering if anyone had experience with it? The solder joint on the board refused to melt no matter what solder tip/temperature I used. But it was all good when I tested it with my solder...

    T-cell-5 Replacement

    I have an old SmartPure (Aquarite) sanitizing system that is running the old r1.4 version of software. I need a new cell but am seeing conflicting information on what replacement cell is and is not compatible. Is the GLX-5 cell compatible with r1.4? I have seen other posts that say no, I need a...

    Pulling my hair out! Aquarite 900

    This has now been a month long scavenger hunt to multiple pool stores and I'm still not 100% sure what the issue is. We have a 6 month old salt plaster pool (details in signature) and everything was great for a few months. We could keep the SWG down to around 18% and the chlorine levels stayed...

    Why would you need an OmniLogic and an AquaRite system

    I'm in the process of having a pool installed. When I signed my contract I told my rep that I wanted a salt pool with the OmniLogic system. My contract shows that I paid for both the AquaRite and OmniLogic sytems. I was told that I'm being ripped off because you don't need both. I would love to...

    OmniHub/App and AquaRite Diagnostics

    I connected my Aquarite to my OmniHub the other day via the daughter board just like in this thread. The OmniHub is communicating with the AquaRite to produce chlorine. I tested it over night and the chlorine level increased as expected per a FAS/DPD test. Also, the scheduling seems to work...

    Low salt readings on multiple brand new salt cells

    I have an Aquarite chlorine generator that's probably around 20 years old but had its board replaced within the last 5 years. My Hayward T-CELL-15 started failing after only 2.5 years. Due to the significant increase in prices and low availability on Hayward's salt cells, I decided to give the...

    Hayward Aquarite SWG Blowing 2.5amp fuse

    I have an old (2004-ish) Hayward Aquarite T-Cell 15. Over the years I have replaced the boards, cells, displays, etc. My current challenge is a blown fuse.....not the 20amp fuse on the board, but the 2.5amp fuse on the mounted on the bottom of the control box (see photo with cap removed). I...

    Salt level confusion with Aquarite T-Cell-15

    This summer, my 16K gallon pool began consuming salt at a higher than usual rate (+30-50%). Added a bag of salt each time the panel reading got to 2800 or less. I now have concerns about the reliability of the system salt reading. The cell is older (>10 years), but it usually runs clean. I...

    AquaRite says remote on, but it's not in remote

    Thank you for this forum! I have an older model AquaRite SWG. On the inside-house panel, there is a General Fault warning. On the outside wall-mounted panel, the Remote Control light is illuminated constantly, but the unit is NOT in remote control mode. I can switch to/from remote mode and...

    Hayward Aquarite - Low Salt detected

    I have a Harward Aquarite salt chlorinator that is misreporting the salt level. I had my salt level test at the local pool store and it tests at 3500 ppm. I also have had the cell tested at a local pool shop and it has passed. I have come across some articles stating it could also be an issue...
