Well it finally happened to me, I've had my Aqua Logic system going on my 4th season, I've been reading about the no cell issues for the past 3 years and I've had the nocellpower.com site bookmarked for the last two.

I resoldered the K1 burn solder spot and it worked for a week, I resoldered it ten times better and it worked for two more days, now I've got someone coming over that actually knows what they are doing but I know it will be a temp fix.

Is there an upgrade board that won't suffer this issue, I know I can upgrade to a pro logic board but I believe I read some of those boards have this issue too, they must have fixed this design flaw at one point.

I realize it was my own doing, I was careless and I had the chlorinator cell on while I added 5 bags of salt to bring me to my required opening season level of 3400PPM, lesson learned.

That can definitely help cause the problem. Higher salt = higher amps which is what I think damages the board. I fixed my board two years ago, I keep salt levels below 3000 ppm and I haven't had the issue again.

Are you looking for a complete automation system or standalone chlorine generator?


I've gotten very used to having an automation system, I would like to continue with one.

Unfortunetely there is not too much discussion on the nocellpower site, if I could determine the design flaw has been fized in the pro logic boards, I would just change to one of those boards, although I read that might mean changing the display too, not 100% sure.
