    Aquatrol RJ issues after changing cell

    Here are the solder joints on the K1 & K2. Also on one of the capacitors. Could this be the issue? Sorry they’re a little blurry. My phone doesn’t do macro shots very well

    Aquatrol RJ issues after changing cell

    I had called Hayward tech to see where I could get it tested and they had done the troubleshooting I mentioned before but before spending a bunch of money on a board I went to a pool place nearby they said could test it and went ahead and had it tested. They said they tested it in both...

    Spoke to Hayward tech support and they are saying the main board needs to be replaced.

I was advised to try switching polarity. When I did that, it clicked and I started getting current to the...

    Aquatrol RJ issues after changing cell

    I’m not familiar with running the diagnostics in both polarities. What’s the best way to do that? Also not sure I kept the old salt cell. Gonna have to check and see

    Tried that. That was the third attempt. I wish that would’ve worked. I was hoping but was met with disappointment.
