TY, I went back in 45 min later and it was generating again. Thanks for the education!!

I replaced the cell but have additional question. I'm not sure if it is "normal" behavior but after about 90 minutes the cell reads 30 amps and 0 going to the cell 3200 85 30.0 075p 0 Al-0 R1.4 I'm going to hold off and check again in an hour to see if it goes on again. I had read above that...

Had a look. nothing burned, all contacts look clean. Seems like it must be the cell. Question for my general education... and I'm probably reading too much into eval steps you asked for but "guessing" that the polarity reverses each time the unit is turned on/off with at least a minute of delay...

Will do, thanks. I've used only the OEM the Hayward cells in the past. Any of the after market units worth considering?

Ok. Thanks wanted to confirm that it was probably the cell vs the board before replacing. 2014 cell. 3E1436-200318.

Move the switch from auto to off and check all of the readings. 3100 77 30.6 085p 0 Al-0 R1.4 Move the switch back to auto and recheck the readings. 3100 77 24.1 5.35 85p 3100 Al-0 R 1.4 Move the switch to off for a minute and then back to auto and recheck the readings. 3100 78 27.1 .92 85p 0...

Ok. In the article you referenced above it mentioned this: "The control board sets the amps based on the cells salinity reading. Higher salinity will generate higher amps. Amps over 8 can overheat the thermistor. If the amps are 8.0 or higher after you replace the thermistor, you should reduce...

The cell was recently cleaned, has never had much build up on it but I regularly do the acid wash as per the instructions. (which I understand may cause challenges as well... acid deteriorating the cell coatings). I've had a look at the link you shared, very informative. That is what give me the...

You'll see by the Firmware number that the Goldline system has a few years on it. I was thinking that I may need a thermistor replacement? Salt 3100 Temp 74 31.3 0.78 AMPS 70p -3100 AL - 5 r 1.40 Salt as measured by Taylor kit is 3200 so close enough. Thanks

T-Cell 15 - The AMPs on my Goldline SWG start out at 5.2 and then, somewhere between 90-120 minutes of operation, it drops down to about .82. I say about because the number varies but it's always below 1.0. Is this normal behavior? Is it related more to the T-Cell or the controller? The T-Cell...

Well, I thought we could close this thread but it turns out that when I turn on the pump and the SWG starts going, it delivers 5.2 (or so) amps but after about 90 minutes, it drops down to .82 (or so). Is this normal? Does the amperage cycle up and down?

Nice try! I had a 1.5ppm increase between 8pm and 6am so cell is definitely working. Thanks again, we can close this thread.

Wow, you're right. I would have bet $500 that i had just purchased it two years ago but checked my records and sure enough, 2014... Dang, time moves fast. I tested with K1766 and it shows 3400ppm vs 3200ppm. I'm going to set it at 100% tonight as @C0d3Sp4c3 suggested and have it run over night...

Actually, just realized that when set to AL-0 my system no longer recognizes the aquarite as being installed. Need to switch it back.

Thanks James. I'm using the goldline system itself to measure the salt in the pool but the K-1766 test comes back slightly higher at 3400ppm. I'm not sure where to find the serial number of either but have included a few screen shots. I'm a little concerned as the sticker on the cell says 5A...

Thanks. i made the change. Did a little reading as well. The change brought my amps up to 5.1 which I suspect will make a big difference.

Here are the diagnostic codes... in order and I've got no idea what half of them mean... 3200, 85, 31.3, 0.00, 10p, -0, AL - 5, r 1.40 Note that I took the readings while I was warming up the spa so temp is reading high and 10p is what I have the spa set to for chlorination.

Yes. I've done the overnight loss test and it isn't going down. I've also run it at 100%, boost mode overnight and it hasn't gone up. Trying to determine if there is a way to test the unit or the cell to determine which might be at fault.

Temp is still at around 62 degrees f

I'll get the details but wouldn't zero loss during the overnight test rule that out?

I'm at the start of season 3 for my T-Cell 15 and it doesn't "seem" to be generating chlorine. I switched to tabs and bleach to get the right levels in place. Removed the tabs and FC began a slow decline from 8 to 0. Background: I've got my salt levels at 3200ppm which is between 2700-3400...

Yeah, Thanks. I hadn't thought about that... I used their tape to repair the winter cover for my boat and it was amazing.

Thanks for the replies!! Not that I can think of a better way but this seems like an area ripe for some design improvements ... having a conduit with water in it surrounded by frozen ground is just asking for problems with cracks, especially since you can't blow this line out. At this point I'm...

A couple of years ago my PVC conduit running to the deep end light must have frozen and cracked creating a slow leak. I "fixed" it by putting a small layer of epoxy around the area where the wires came out of of the cove. This was fine until last year when I needed to replace the light fixture...

Thanks Arizonarob for the reply. One thing making the whole process a bit tough is that the water is 41 degrees and I haven't put on the wet suit to really take a good look. I'll try snaking it, I also have an optical camera snake that might be a bit too big but hoping I can get that in there to...

Folks, i've read through a number of posts on this subject and am certain this topic is covered but can't seem to pull out the relevant details for my use case... apologies if available elsewhere, please feel free to send a link to an existing thread if easier. Opened pool this year after a...
