Thanks James, and sorry for the delay..... so my 1st new T5 cell came back after testing for warranty and it came back fine. I asked what salt ppm did they use and was told 3200. I told them my Aquatrol only has the option to run in low salt mode 1200-1800. It also has a check salt and high...

Thank you very much ajw, problem solved, really appreciate your help, thanks again!

Hi all, was wondering if anyone has ever seen an aquatrol reading its salt as 1.60 instead of the typical 1200-1800ppm range? All summer my salt has been showing up normally at 1500-1600. Now its reading 1.60 and cant get it to read properly again. Its a T5 replacement cell installed in June...

Mine is the low salt model with the 1200-1800 range (1500 ideal).....

Thanks, im currently looking for an electonic tester like the pool stores have. Are the manual kits easy to use and more precise? Maybe thats the way i should go if so

Thanks for your help, my aqua trol does not come with the option to go from normal salt to low salt usage. It ends with the salt reading after the revision number but its not changeable. This new cell was working normally until early june then took a nose dive (below 1.0). July 9th was 1.40...

Im just bringing in my water samples to 2 pool places i buy chemical from. Ive never had a low chlorine issue since we bought the house 3 years ago until i swapped out my salt cell.

Hi ajw, yes im in Canada, i replaced only my cell so far as it was from 2018 as per the date code. The original T5 ran fine at the aqua trol recommended salt of 1200-1800 range. Ive reached out to Hayward asking how to confirm the board is working but have not heard back.....im assuming since...

Hi all, hoping someone could clarify that the hayward aqua trol is compatible with the new hayward glx cell 5 i just installed. I cant get it above 0.40 free chlorine even when set at 90% or in super chlorinate. All my water chemisty are within range. The aqua trol salt requirements are...
