Hi all,
Greetings from Belgium.
After winterization, I restarted to run for 3-4 hrs/day the filter pump and the SWG to keep water decently clean, with temperatures rising. Everything got back up with no problem, I could see (and smell) the SWG doing its work. After some days, I heard it beeping and went checking. Display was odd and I could not switch it off. So I pulled the plug off and since then I can't reactivate it. No error codes, LCD 8 segments have some of those light up but they blink erratically. Warranty just expired (Dang!!!) so I opened it but could not see anything loose or wrong. I think humidity might have been the root cause, probably either the main PCB or the display board are damaged? I have seen there are some tutorials on how to bypass the controls and run the cell without. The power transformer seems to be OK, when I check voltage. Anyone has any advice?
I am looking to buy a 2nd hand replacement, but maybe I can do something with mine... cell is very good and last 2 seasons I was very satisfied with performances!
Regards
Guido
