Hi,
Here's my situation:
We opened the pool two weeks ago and had some filter issues which required the filter tank and filter to be replaced. The pool is now clean and I was ready to add salt. I only had 2 40lb bags, so I added those recognizing I needed more. I checked the salt generator unit and no power light. The LCD was on, but no power light or generating light.
I'm going to assume the wiring is ok as it was working fine for 3 years.
My cell voltage and cell current are reading 0.4 and 0. So I guess I have a power supply issues somewhere?
I checked the fuse and it looked ok - no visible break. I read that it could be the limiter. I took a picture - I think it looked ok, but maybe there was a hint of black on the inside of the brown casing that might have indicated an issue? To my untrained eye I didn't think it looked significant but would appreciate some thoughts.
Any ideas on how to proceed? I couldn't see any signs of burn out on the back of the circuit board - no obvious issues on the front either.
I head some generators don't power up if there's no salt in the pool - that sounds unlikely but could that be an issue? I don't know my salt levels (getting it tested tomorrow) but it's got to be low - I've barely added any salt this season.
Thanks
Rich
