First time on the site...I saw a very similar post in 2011.
I replaced a hayward salt cell generator with a new one the 15 model. Everything was working great for about 2 weeks. My salt levels on the readings came up..everything was spot on. I paid $300 for the unti, where as the pool installer wanted to charge me $900.
Since it is after labor day, I re-set the timers of the filter..instead of a 12 hour a day run, I cut it back to 8 hours a day..we only keep it open one more month to utilize the attached spa. Spa is at 9% chlorine ..pool is at 60%
Once I did that, the next day the warning light came on, +40.62 volt ..10.04 amps..69 degrees..2400ppm
THe unit sez salt/amp levels too high shutting down chlorinator...
when I overide to start chlorinator I get the reading I mentioned.
Last night I drained a good 2 feet of water, and put in fresh water to top everythin off.
Still get same message and readings? I did see some chatter about taking off the mother board and soldering some wires...scares me, but if that needs to be done, can anyone walk me through it or send photos ?
OR, do I need to give the filter 24 hours to recalculate the readings ?
Thanks for any help
