Add me to the list as well. Solder joint looked just like the pic and ps-4 had 40v and 10 amp readings (approx). Repaired the joint, replaced the 20amp fuse with a 15 and now volts and amps are reading correctly. Back in business - thanks very much.

Re: Aqua Logic Salt Too High - Cholrinator Off High Salt/Amp
I have low amps (0.4),000ppm salt reading. But Voltage is high (30v.). I have done the K1 soldering fix in the past. Is this the same or different problem? Any suggestions??
Thanks

If amps are above zero it is something else. The K1 problem causes amps to always be exactly zero.
Hi All,
I have Pro Logic P4 from Goldline and T-5 Cell. I'm having the same issue : 0ppm ; 0.3Amp and +30V. When i run a diagnostic, Voltage will reverse polarity and give me the same range of volts, just negative and vice versa.
What do you recommend ?

Thanks Jason. I have been gone a week. Now, volts 30, amp 0, salt 0. So I will check the solder point.
I checked the solder joints of K1. I didn't see any sign of burning.
I took my Cell to a Serive Co and the diagnosis is defective Cell.
i had to buy a new one at $419 and went back home excited !

Re: Aqua Logic Salt Too High - Cholrinator Off High Salt/Amp
I re-soldered my K1 and it worked good for about a minute then went back to HI salt after a new T-15 hayward cell was installed. I took it off and tried to resolder again so hope it fixed it. If now how hard is it to replace K1?

This fixed it for me.
FYI, on my PS-8 board the bad connection as accurately depicted in the photo is actually relay K6, not K1.
Thanks for the tip, I was pulling my hair out trying to figure this out!

Re: Aqua Logic Salt Too High - Cholrinator Off High Salt/Amp
I found out the same thing and soldered a nice thick piece of wire from the fat relay lead to the two other leads that stick out so no chance of burning the thin pc board. Been working just fine since! I saw on your board there was another area starting to burn. I would solder a thick wire for that one also bc it will ultimately have the same problem.
I like the idea about a 15amp fuse!

Re: Aqua Logic Salt Too High - Cholrinator Off High Salt/Amp
Can you send a pic of FAT lead wire you mention.
My system is a Aqua Logic ps-8 I think
I have replaced k1 re-soldered heavily. Checked wire connections and all I could think, recrimped leads on some. I do not see anything else. I also replaced the 20 amp to 15 amp.
I do now show in diagnostics initial voltage on start up 40v 10.2 amp 2200 ppm after replacing k1 while before just 0 0 and then shut down no power (the default screen shows salt 3600 ppm) It tries and shows error high salt/high amp few times then stops with no cell power
I had replaced the original hayward cell with appropriate power compupool model just prior to k1 relay swap. The zero power is what pushed me to relay replacement.
This has been awful -- 4 months.

Re: Aqua Logic Salt Too High - Cholrinator Off High Salt/Amp
Could you please send me a detailed pic and explanation of how and where you attached this wire for the K1 relay. This problem has been giving me a headache for the past 2 weeks.

I would love to see some pictures, with arrows pointing out what is what. This would be invaluable for Hayward Owners.

worked great. thanks for the help. DIY4Life.

I also just tried to "re-solder" the K-1 circuit. It worked fine for about 21 minutes. Then, check system light came back on showing "chlorinator off- high salt/amps." Did i not put enough solder? Could it be something else?
Re: Aqua Logic Salt Too High - Cholrinator Off High Salt/Amp
I could use some help here... I, too had this K1 solder problem a while back and found the solution on this forum. A little glob of solder on the back of the board and problem was solved. Fast forward a few years - T-15 cell was replaced with generic replacement from Compupool and worked fine for a long time. Now, I'm getting the high salt/amps message. The salt level in the pool is actually quite low, around 1900-2600ppm. I've been meaning to add salt, but now that I've discovered this problem, I'm not sure what to do. I took the board off and my little glob of solder from before is still intact. Just to be sure, I globbed a little more on there - but it hasn't solved the problem.
Low salt and little glob of solder is good. What else could cause this error...?
Please help!!

Re: Aqua Logic Salt Too High - Cholrinator Off High Salt/Amp
I'm at this same point. Have tried the re=solder on the K-1. No help. Went from High Salt/High Amps to no cell power. This is a new T-15 cell that replaced the same about 2 months ago. Hayward says I need a new board. Found a new one on Amazon for $369. Going to test cell before installing board though. Will update...

Re: Aqua Logic Salt Too High - Cholrinator Off High Salt/Amp
UPDATE - Tested cell and it was bad. Installed new cell (warranty) and still getting the same error. So I went ahead and changed the board. Now it's all working properly.
