Hayward Swimpure Plus

[christo]

i've got a new hayward swimpure plus and pushing the diagnostics button does NOTHING. the display is stuck on water temp.
is the button broken? is there any setup/reset process?

From the manual

Diagnostic Displays
Be sure to have the following information
Sequential pushes of the small "diagnostic" button next to the LCD display will cause the Swimpure RJ to display the following information:
1. Pool temperature (degrees Fahrenheitor/Celsius)
2. Cell voltage (typically 22.0 to 26.0 volts when chlorine is being generated ,other-wise 30-35V)
3. Cell current (typically 2.50 to 4.00 amps when chlorine is being generated, other-wise 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 "Swimpure" (STD), ("AL-7 signifies "Swimpure RJ Return-Jet")
7. Software revision level (r1.xx)
On the 8th 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.

It does sound like the button is broken, it should go through the items like salt level, temp, % etc. I don't really know how you would reset. I'm sure you have turned the unit on and off but other than that you could call Hayward. They might can give you some info. Good luck.

turns out the little cutout in the decal that covers the whole front was holding the button down. now that it is freed the button cycles through the readings.
