My pool is probably 11 or 12 years old at this point. No warranty except for maybe the 2nd SWCG I just purchased.

You think the 2nd salt water cell is bad also?

Looks like I still have a problem. I'm getting this error now 'Chlorinator Off Test Salt Level'.

After doing that it looks like the Chlorinator is working. I was able to get to the Chlorinator Diagnostics and Instant Salt menus. Its showing 0000 PPM Salt at the moment. I was able to changed polarity so I did that. I guess Ill let it run to see if it begins to register any salt. I hope...

I just have one salt system. I purchased a second cell because I thought the first one was bad. I just checked the configuration and it is correct. I wish that had been it.

The plug isn't burned on either of the 2 SWCG's. I'm not sure how to reverse the polarity. I believe you press the + or - button when in the Chlorinator Diagnostic menu correct? I can't actually view anything but an error when I try to look at that menu. Is there anyway to get around this?

Unfortunately, when I go to Diagnostics and look at either Chlorinator Diagnostics or Instant Salt it just gives me one of the 2 error messages.

Recently my SWCG stopped producing chlorine. It’s less than a year old so I thought maybe it was dirty so I cleaned it although it looked very clean. I put it back in the system and it still didn't work. I then decided to clean it with an mild acid wash. Still no change. At that point I...

Does anyone have any other ideas? I hate to think that I'll have to purchase a new board to replace this one to correct this problem. On the other hand, I can't imagine that I'm going to remember to manually turn the booster pump on each day either.

Thanks for the reply. I did check the timers and they are correct. Aux1 (booster pump) is scheduled to run at the same time the main pump runs on high speed. The main pump starts but the booster doesn't. I really don't know what to do with it. Is there anything else I might check.

Well, with all the problems I’ve had with my Hayward AquaPlus controller I now have a problem I created. I was opening up the box to look at an onboard fuse I plan to replace with a lower amp circuit breaker (another issue) I accidentally touched the bottom of the board with a screwdriver. No...

I have a wire that came loose from the connector on the plug that plugs into my main circuit board at position J8. I cleared the remnants of the insulation etc but I can't get the wire to stay in the connector and make a good connection. Does anyone know what type of plug this is? I'd like to...

I was having trouble with my SWCG. I replaced it and found that it still didn't work but it had a different issue. The issue had to do with the relay in the K1 position on the pcb. I re-soldered the relay and the SWGC is working like a champ. However, when I turned the power on to check the...

Yeah. Just a bit confusing. I just tried your suggestion with no change. The cell is set to T-cell-5.

Ok. I replace my cell with a glx-cell-5. My old cell had been slowly going bad and reporting lower and lower salt levels even though the salt level was fine. I replaced the cell this past Friday evening. I checked the salt level and it's at 3300ppm which is very close to the previous optimum...
