I have a Hayward T-Cell-15 connected to my AQL-PS4 automation system and my controls shows that the SWG won’t power on.
Attached are photos of the back of the motherboard with burn marks.
I had an issue 9 years ago where I put too much salt while the system was on and I had to get someone to resolder a point on the back of the board and it has worked since then.
This season I thought it was weird that I had my SWG at 50% for the last few months and my Salt Level stayed constant and I didn’t really have to add much salt over the last few months, it just stayed at 3000ppm for some reason but it worked and my Chlorine level was good, I guess it wasn’t divine intervention after all
I noticed the other day my check system light was on and I checked my chlorinator to see that it was off, and I could smell burning from behind my AQL board, and I tested my water and I couldn’t believe it was at 3300ppm! Which means I must have started the season with it way above the recommended mark, that could be the only explanation.
Chlorinator reads 29.47v, +0.00A 0000PPM
I really hope it’s just a matter of soldering again, can someone please help me diagnose and resolve or is time to throw in the towel and upgrade/replace everything? I hope not
