    Inaccurate Salt Reading

    I had my 12,000 gal pool resurfaced in March. When I turned the Aqua Rite system back on, I had a solid red light for No Flow. I bought a new flow switch which produced the same solid red light. I manually tested both, and they worked. I turned on the water with the switch out and water is...

    No flow light constantly on

    Thank you for your reply. I have a DE filter. I backwashed it and hosed off the fins inside. It is showing 10 psi, which is what I typically get on the filter. I manually tested both the old flow switch and new one. Both worked outside of the pipe. I tried both in the system, and neither would...

    No flow light constantly on

    I recently had my pool resurfaced. When I started my Aqua Rite system up again the no flow light was staying on constantly. I replaced the flow switch, but there was no change. I plugged in the old switch and manually engaged it. The no flow light flashed, then it went off and the system started...

    Salt reading showing much higher than actual level

    Yes it is a T-3. 3900 80 28.1 3.40 92P -3800 AL-0 r 1.59 My concern with having it read accurately is just that I don't want the cell to not have enough salt to work. Is there a number where there's not enough salt for the cell to generate?

    Salt reading showing much higher than actual level

    I have a 13,000 gal in ground pool with a T-3 Cell. Both the cell and motherboard are 1 year old. I am showing 3600 salt, but the pool store is reading it at 2400. I had it checked again the following weekend, still 1000+ difference. I brought the cell in to be checked, it passed. I installed a...

    Not showing correct salt level

    3 Years ago I replaced the motherboard and cell on my Aqua Rite system. About a month ago, the salt level started reading off by more than 1000 causing the cell to not produce chlorine. I realize that the numbers aren't going to be exact, I just need it close enough to generate. I reset it a few...

    Aqua Rite High salt but no chlorine

    Thank you for all your help. Since I added some shock, should I wait a certain amount of time before getting the water tested, or will the shock alter the numbers?

    Aqua Rite High salt but no chlorine

    We bought the house about a year ago. The numbers displayed on the board have varied in the past, but nothing quite so drastic and never with algae in the pool. We had been concerned in the past because the light did not say generating, but when the water was checked at the store the chlorine...

    Aqua Rite High salt but no chlorine

    Thank you for your quick response and great website! Is there a way to know if there was no chlorine because of the algae or was there no chlorine which caused the algae? The pool has been shocked. I did 3 bags (1 pound each) on Thursday and 2 more bags on Friday. The store said my salt...

    Aqua Rite High salt but no chlorine

    I have a unit that I believe is just over 5 years old. I know that it is at the tail end of its life expectancy, but of course would like to squeak out more time rather than paying $800 to replace the system. I have had problems off and on with the unit not generating. The salt read out was...
