Excellent documentations and easy to follow! Also, thanks to all the others. Same symptoms as many others but mine showed no outwards signs (not browning, did not crumble). Made the replacement and all is well!!

Kinda funny, same thing happened to me. I'd read the threads on here about how easy a fix it was, so I got the part and replaced the current limiter on my old 2004 board and same issue so I had to order an new one Monday. At least I'll have taking the board off and on down pat...lol

That's probably a good idea, but not something I can do easily.

Thanks. After getting one end loose, I was able to use large channel locks and get it loose. I made sure it was hand tightened this time...lol

I am getting very little suction when I hook my Pool Cleaner up to the vacuum line. I checked at the pool pump end and no clogs in the valves or pipes. I hooked the Pool Cleaner up to the skimmer line and it worked fine, excellent suction. What's the best way to unclog the vacuum line as...

I went to remove my T-15 cell for its periodic cleaning/descaling and I cannot get one end loose. I even got some large channel locks to try and get it loose, no luck. Any ideas on how to get this loose short of cutting the section off and re-plumbing?

SO I was going nuts trying to figure out why my cell all of the sudden was showing as "Hi". Cleaned cell (wasn't needed) reset the board etc... Then after a search on here it said to check the cell typed displayed. I have a T-15 and it was shown as a Type 3 on the display. Very quick...

Being in South Florida the pool is open 365 days a year. I know the average life span of an Aqua Rite cell is a bout 5 years, but is that based on the pool open all year or the pool open 5 or 6 months a year?

Well, that's exactly what it was. Rewired so that the Aqua Rite is in line with the pump and now only is on when the pump is on.....

Installer is coming by tomorrow to look at it. Did not get to speak to him, just the lady who sets the appointments. I am looking forward to his explanation....

Yes I just cleaned the cell a few weeks ago. I think I found the problem... Old set up, pump and Aqua Rite both run by timer with presets. When they installed the pentair variable pump, it has it's own timer and the installer simply removed the pins and the timer is "on" all the time. Well...

A little additional information. 7 am 3200 instant salinity, 3200 salt reading 11 am no change 2 pm 0 instant salinity, 2600 salt reading.....so between 11 am and 2 pm it went haywire. reset and it went right back to 3200 instant salinity.... In the meantime I turned the unit off and then...

Do not know if this is a coincidence or if there is something going on. I have replaced the Board and cell within the last year or so. Earlier this year, put in my new variable speed pump. My problem is that the Aqua Rite will read 3200 salt level. It will be fine then after a few days it...

Thanks all!!

Just installed a new Pentair Intelliflo VF and I have a question. My old 2 HP single speed pump ran 8 hours a day. The new variable speed will be running 12 to 14 hours a day. Am I correct in that I will now be generating 50% more chlorine that previously?
