Problem:
AquaRite SWG is not generating chlorine and LED lights working but indicating unusual pattern
Diagnostics are:
89 Temp
0.0-17.0 VDC increments in tenths to 17 and then starts over
0 amps
60P Desired Output %
- 0 Instant Salt Reading
r1.09 Revision
Salt reading is 0 on display
When the unit gets to 17 VDC the Power and Generating LEDs turn on for a second and then back off. And it repeats the cycle again.
The actual salt level measured independently is ~3200ppm
I have replaced the salt cell with a Hayward T-15...I initially thought the cell was done since it was a few years old
I have replaced the transformer (BTW the diagnostics manual says the resistance should be around 2 ohms on each of the primary inputs, mine was around 8-9, so I figured it was bad. However, the new transformer I received and installed yesterday tested at ~9 ohms too, so there is a discrepancy with the diagnostics manual I suppose)
I have checked the thermistor I replaced a couple of years ago and it seems to be ok both visually and resistance wise...changes resistance with temp changes, similar resistance values as a spare thermistor I have. I also checked continuity between the thermistor leads and board and all good.
Voltages primaries/secondaries transformer good
Voltages to/from rectifiers good
Fuse is good
New rectifiers arrive today so I may swap those out....
All LED and display lights are functional but....no power except for a second when the generating LED comes on...
Im down to the main controller board? Could a relay be bad? or is it time to replace the board?
Any good sources for a Goldline AquaRite board with the Jandy AquaLink RS interface?
ps...called Hayward and after waiting over an hour got a tech who only wanted my email address and told me to reference the on-line support repository...zero guidance or help....nothing like the fantastic support I got several years ago from Goldline...frustrating...
Any ideas?
Thank You!
