    Hayward Aqua Rite not recalibrating, Instant Salinity and Salt Level stuck at Zero

    Replaced the salt cell and it’s now working fine. Thank you for the help. Lesson learnt is not to trust what the shop says, like they did about the working nature of the salt cell.

    Hayward Aqua Rite not recalibrating, Instant Salinity and Salt Level stuck at Zero

    With the old salt cell (this was tested previously at Leslie’s and shown not in working condition) plugged in, following were the readings just after the ‘generating’ light came on and the click: 1. 0 salt level 2. 90 temperature 3. 27.9 cell voltage 4. 5.02 cell current (started at 6.35 and...

    Hayward Aqua Rite not recalibrating, Instant Salinity and Salt Level stuck at Zero

    So if I interpreted it correctly, it’s not a PCB / panel issue, it’s potentially a salt cell issue if the salt level is indeed at 3000 after using an independent test, and to call in warranty on salt cell? Thanks! Also, as noted in original post above, the salt cell was taken into Leslie’s and...

    I agree, I called them, but their support is restricted to emails with a 5 day response time due to the pandemic, standard response seems to be to dismantle everything and take it to one of their service centers! The cell is new but the panel board is 2013 so out of warranty. I can change the...

    Hayward Aqua Rite not recalibrating, Instant Salinity and Salt Level stuck at Zero

    Completed the steps. Report: Once the ‘generating’ light came on, I inserted the multimeter leads into 2 & 1, 4 & 3, 2 & 3 and 1 & 4 pins, in all four combinations the reading showed 32 volts. However, once the ‘generating’ light went off and the ‘check salt’ and ‘inspect cell’ lights came on...

    Hayward Aqua Rite not recalibrating, Instant Salinity and Salt Level stuck at Zero

    Hello all, I have a Hayward Aqua Rite that shows a zero reading for salt and instant salinity also shows zero. The water has been tested at Leslie’s multiple times to show 3200 salt level. The salt cell is new and has been tested at Leslie’s to show that it works well. The chlorinator is not...
