    Aquatrol SWG no power

    2 years :( I'm going to go ahead and order one and call around to some local pool shops that have been helpful in the past and see if they have any suggestions. I'll report back if I get lucky.

    Aquatrol SWG no power

    All the diag guides say if this reading isn't correct to replace the PCB :(

    Also this is an RJ model, no flow switch.

    It displays AL-0. Yes pump runs when timer not plugged in. I see no visible damage to either cell port, plug or cord.

    Aquatrol SWG no power

    Looks like I might have more problems, as I just checked and unit is reading no flow and is not generating chlorine. Confirmed timer is good, continuity switched off/on depending on timer switch positions. Removed two black wires and not picking up any resistance reading on two black...

    So after hooking this back up, the pump fired right up! However, now the issue is that the timer does not appear to work! The pump always has power no matter what position the timer switch is in. Any ideas?

    Aquatrol SWG no power

    After MUCH trial and error I finally got the new U13 part soldered in. Sure enough I now have 5vdc on TP 14! It looks disgusting but it seems to work. I powered the unit up and have the LEDs! What else can I check to ensure normal operation? One time I plugged it in and all od the LEDs were...

    Yes this forum has saved me multiple times. Best community I've ever seen! Mouser had 500+ in stock, digikey was back ordered with no estimate on when it would ship, in case anyone finds this thread later! I'll for sure report back here when I get the part in. Thanks so much!!

    Aquatrol SWG no power

    I ordered it off mouser, man 8 bucks to ship a 45 cent part. Better than 300 bucks to replace the whole board! I have only ever soldered one thing before which were capacitors which go through the board. Any tips for soldering this chip? I have some thin solder on the way as well.

    Man so glad we got that cleared up, what a point of confusion! Thanks for your patience and help. Yes confirmed TP 13 is 5 V (not mV), and TP 14 is 0.

    Aquatrol SWG no power

    Understand your confusion. This could be my misunderstanding of what TP1 and TP2 represents on the above linked diagram. I'm attaching a Pic of what I'm probing circled. I'm using TP 1 just below U3, TP 2 above U3, TP 14 to the right and TP 13 further off to the right. There is also a TP 3...

    So I have 9 M ohms between R15 and TP 14 I have 22 K ohms between R15 and pin 4 Thanks for your detailed responses. I definitely am not a certified electrician, but did manage to replace some capacitors on an old Xbox. While the solders were not pretty to look at, it did work :) If I'm reading...

    Aquatrol SWG no power

    After I looked at my Pic I noticed it had mV, not V. My meter is the Innova 3320 which auto adjusts. Reviewing this and following that circuit diagram I have 31V between black and red 72 mV at TP 1, yes that's mV. This can't be right can it?

    I'm also just on the left side of pin 4 in the Pic I realize it's a bit blurry and may be hard to tell.

    Aquatrol SWG no power

    I'm definitely not infallible, so attached a screen shot for interpretation. I also looked at the diagram and it shows TP 3 and 4 not 13 and 14, unless they are the same?

    Thanks for the responses all. Sorry all I misspoke, it is a T5, that's what I get for trying to remember when not at home! The board is labeled as Hayward Industries 2013, G1-0660120-1, REV A Updated TESTS all with negative lead on R15 post. This is plugged in with DSP removed TP13 5V TP14...

    Aquatrol SWG no power

    Yes that's right a T15. I had noticed the pump wasn't running, went out to check and had no power to pump or the unit as no leds and no display. I mentioned above I had run through the diagnostic guide, but got hung up checking those riser pins to the DSP board. However, I didn't trust my...

    Thanks, I did check that, looks ok, and even switched it out for a new one just to be safe.

    Also wanted to mention the first step says to check the jumpers for the correct position since they come shipped for 240V but this has been working for a couple of years and do not see any jumpers.

    Aquatrol SWG no power

    Confirmed power at box and inside unit. So doing my research I downloaded the fabulous Aquatrol diagnostics guide. Thank you internet for whoever created that guide! Following through the steps I found that I did not have the correct 18-33 VDC between black and red wires so I replaced the...

    Dirty water but no CC

    And here I thought I was going so good :( So was this just a result of keeping FC too low and overtime it built up?

    I also forgot to mention I did a 6 hour TSP soak on my cartridge although it wasn't really that bad to begin with.

    Dirty water but no CC

    Hi all. Been with tfp for a while now, but this one is throwing me for a loop. I have had dirty looking water for a couple weeks. There is dirty junk on the bottom of my pool and it definitely has a green tinted. I have posted full readings below, and I don't see how I could have algae...

    I've spent hours reading through posts on this forum, how did I miss

    Man, this post speaks to me so much, just check my post history. Have had this house for a few years, never treated for ants (didn't know I needed to!) and just never had a problem. Well.....this year my liner is DESTROYED. I've placed at least 60 patches by now over the past 2 months. I...
