AquaRite SWG with AQUA Turbo Cell

[Lisa Shepherd]

SWG Control panel (AquaRite) behaves oddly. Sometimes it doesnt generate chlorine, and all 4 red lights flash continuously during the time the pump is running. Sometimes, the 4 green lights on top flash continuiusly, and i dont know if it is generating chlorine. Sometimes it appears to be working fine, but i cannot read the display when i scroll through the diagnostic display. Whenever it is behaving normal, i see that the salt level is at 3800, which is too high, as it should be 3400 max, per the manual. Could the high salt cause the problems im having?
I bought a home warranty with optional coverage for my pool equipment and separate opt coverage for salt water system. when i called to have it repaired, the pool repair company said the display board needs to be replaced. The warranty company denied the claim, stating the coverage is for "the cell and circuit board only". This makes no sense to me. Does anyone else have experience with this, or the type of problem i am having with the SWG?

Try removing and reinstalling the display board. Maybe spray it down with electronics cleaner while it's out.

Thank you. I will try that.

That's a 10 year old cell. I would be very surprised if it was still working properly. Have you checked the actual salt level recently?

Not really. I took a sample to Leslie's, but dont trust their results because they said my salt was low, so I added a bag of salt, and when the water gets warm, my SWG stops generating chlorine and the High Salt light comes on.

I really should get a kit, but for now I can only test chlorine and PH.

Definitely need to check the salt level with a good kit like the K-1766.
