    Hayward Aqua Logic AQL-P-4 giving salt reading of 0 - Main Circuit Board issue?

    Hi - just closing the loop. I'm up and running again. I decided to send my Aqua Logic board off to B&L Enterprises to be repaired and had a really good experience. I shipped my board to them on 9/11 and received it back fully repaired/reconditioned on 9/16 - I installed it and it's working...

    Hayward Aqua Logic AQL-P-4 giving salt reading of 0 - Main Circuit Board issue?

    Correction - still no salt reading, so no chlorine generation.

    Hayward Aqua Logic AQL-P-4 giving salt reading of 0 - Main Circuit Board issue?

    Hi - just to close the loop. I tried cleaning it up and soldering K2, but it didn't work - still no chlorine reading. I'm looking at other options (sending for a professional repair or replacing the board).

    Hayward Aqua Logic AQL-P-4 giving salt reading of 0 - Main Circuit Board issue?

    It’s a brand new t-cell 15 so it should be clean. I visually inspected it before i installed it and everything looked brand new.

    Hayward Aqua Logic AQL-P-4 giving salt reading of 0 - Main Circuit Board issue?

    Thanks for the responses. I don't have a salt test, but when the pool was opened this spring the salt was about 3000 - I added a total of 120# this season and the pool is about 28,000 gallons, so the salt shouldn't be extremely high. I will get it tested but it shouldn't be more than 3,500 or...

    Hayward Aqua Logic AQL-P-4 giving salt reading of 0 - Main Circuit Board issue?

    My 4+ year old Hayward t-cell 15 was displaying a gradually lowering salt level this summer until it was too low to generate any chlorine. I added some salt during the process to prolong the usefulness of the generator, but time won in the end as it always does. I decided to stick with the...

    Coverstar pool cover switch replacement

    I have a Coverstar pool cover and the "cover/uncover" switch went out. (It works one direction to uncover the pool, but not to cover). We confirmed that the motor is fine by hardwiring - it works both ways. The pool technician can get a replacement switch but it will cost $140!!! I can't...

    need advice on replacement for SWG - Hayward T-CELL 15

    I've had the TI3 cell in place for several weeks now and everything seems to be working fine. I had to drain some of the pool water and replace with fresh because the salt reading on the new unit was 4300+ and it was sporadically shutting down due to the high salt level (the old Hayward was...

    need advice on replacement for SWG - Hayward T-CELL 15

    Hi Jlentz32 - I was curious about the T-cell vs. GLX-cell. I read some reviews on Amazond, and one of the reviewers said the difference is that the GLX-Cell-15-W has only a 1 year warranty as compared to the T-Cell-15 which has a 3 year warranty. The description on Amazon says the GLX has a...

    need advice on replacement for SWG - Hayward T-CELL 15

    2thman - just talked to the titanium cells folks (they answer as "Pool Express") and asked some questions. The Hayward cell has an estimated life of 10,000 hours, but the titanium cell is supposed to last about 50% longer - so 15,000 hours. They also have a 3 year, non-prorated warranty (he...

    need advice on replacement for SWG - Hayward T-CELL 15

    I've run into the same problem with multiple pool stores giving me different readings on the same sample. I could only find one local pool store that can test the cell, and mine failed. It's giving me a salt reading of 2400 - one pool shop is measuring 3100 and the other 3800. I still have...

    need advice on replacement for SWG - Hayward T-CELL 15

    I agree. I like the idea of transparent plastic around the cell to see the cells. With the Hayward device I need to shut everything down to inspect the cell. But, to you point, it's not worth saving $100 now to get a cell that half the life. Does anyone have any experience with one of the...

    need advice on replacement for SWG - Hayward T-CELL 15

    I need to replace my Hayward T-CELL 15 SWG cell. I've read that the electrodes on the aftermarket products are thinner and wear out faster. I've seen Compupool, Titanium Power Cells, and the T-CELL 15 ULTRA (from a recent post). Anyone have a suggestion? I want a unit that is plug and play -...
