Salt water generator

We just spent $348.00 on the main circuit board and it’s still not generating. I really don’t want to have to tell my husband it’s not working an we are going to have to buy something else
 
Fawn,

How old is the cell?

Just to be clear, none of the lights on the main panel are coming on, or just the Generating light??? Is the power light on?

I'm not up on the Hayward products so let's see if we can get one of our Hayward guys to step in.

Thanks,

Jim R.
 

Basic AquaRite Diagnostics.​

This is the basic information we need to know in diagnosing a problem:
  • Report all readings when you..
    • Move the switch from auto to off and check all of the readings.
    • Move the switch back to auto and recheck the readings.
    • Move the switch to off for a minute and then back to auto and recheck the readings.
  • What are the first seven characters of the cell and box serial numbers?
  • What is the actual salinity and how are you measuring it?

 


Diagnostic Displays Sequential pushes of the small “diagnostic” button next to the LCD display will cause the Aqua Trol to display the following information:
1. Pool temperature (xx degrees Fahrenheit or Celsius)
2. Cell voltage (typically xx.x volts when chlorine is being generated, otherwise 30-35V)
3. Cell current (typically x.xx amps when chlorine is being generated, otherwise 0 amps)
4. Desired Output % (“0P” -- “100P” depending on knob position )
5. Instant salinity ( -xxxx ppm or -x.xx grams/Liter)
6. Product name sent to the display (“AL-6” signifies “Aqua Trol” (STD), (“AL-7” signifies “Aqua Trol Return-Jet”)
7. Software revision level (r1.xx) 8. Salt Mode (nSlt = Normal Salt Mode, lSlt=Low Salt Mode)
On the 9th push of the button the display will revert back to the default salt display.
Also, if the button is not pushed for 30 seconds, the display will revert back to the standard salt display

In this picture, the timer is Off and the system will not work.

The timer needs to be On.

The power light comes on it’s just the generating light does not and you use to could hear the relay come on but now it does not. The control displays but only the power like is on
