Thanks for that link. So the AquaTrol system doesn’t support.. is it possible to install a mainboard from another model? With the Rj, I’m not sure if any other models would even work? Thanks! -Chad

I am researching and found this thread.. I have an AquaTrol system from 2016. It has r1.45 firmware. It is time to replace my cell and I thought I’d be able to upgrade to the T-Cell-9, so I purchased it! Problem is now, I’m finding out the AquaTrol is only compatible with the T-Cell-5 and...

Okay, So I just found out that my Taylor test kit is expired. I bought last year, but apparently was sold an already expired test kit! It expired 03/13! I don’t know how much that can/will effect the test results? I checked the water again today and it shows ~3000ppm on my Refractometer, it...

For further confusion, I found my Auqarite Salt test strips, tested with them and it shows 3820ppm. So pretty much not one test agrees. -ThaChad

To add to the mix. I have a Refractometer that is used to check my salinity level in my Saltwater Reef fish tank. It reads SG (Specific Gravity) and PPT. So I decided to check the pool water. It reads 5PPT, which after googling, would be 5ppt x 1000 = 5000 PPM. I don't know what is the...

Well I took a water sample to the local pool store and their Digital tester showed over 8000 PPM. They used a test strip, which showed 6000~. So none of the tests are remotely close to each other. -ThaChad

86 - Pool Temp 26.5 - Cell Voltage 4.52 - Cell Current 26P - Cell Output Percentage -3300 - Instant Salinity Reading AL-7 - Cell Type (Return jet) r1.45 - Software Version -ThaChad

Which reading(s) are you interested in? -ThaChad

No chance. The pump is plugged into the control box. The swg only runs when the pump is on. What diagnostic readings? No error lights.. The cell was purchased new in July of 2016, but was not used untill the 2017 pool season. So it has only been used 1 full season. I have not cleaned the...

Normal. Mine does that as well... That way I know it's makin' Chlorine! It doesn't make the water cloudy.. -ThaChad

Well my cell shouldn't be anywhere close to needing replaced. I looked threw it when I filled the pool back up from winter and I did not see any build up or anything in the cell.. Should I run a muriatic acid/water mix in the cell anyway? So should I trust the Taylor liquid test results...

Say What? You mean the Hayward display is an average of the water running through the cell for 24 hours? -ThaChad

Hey all, I have a Hayward AquaTrol RJ SWG. The screen reads 3200PPM of salt, which is according to the directions, the PERFECT salt level for generation. However I just tested the water with my Taylor liquid salt test kit and it shows 4600ppm of salt. The generator wont generate chlorine if...

Hey all, I have a "Jet Light" return jet pool light (http://oceanbluewaterproducts.com/pages/light_jet_color.html) by Ocean Blue Water Products. The fitting that screws into the back of the light, never get's tight, just as it's about to get tight, it "pop"'s and the threads break loose, but...

The installer recommended 3/4" foam, is that thick enough? Will I have problems with that? I was looking at the Gladon foam cove on Amazon. I wasn't sure if there are different quality foam coves, or if they are all basically the same? Thanks, -ThaChad
