AquaRite diagnostics not showing in OmniLogic

[piostrus85]

There were several threads about this issue in the past going back to 2018.In 2022 someone posted response from Hayward tech support that diagnostic data can only be viewed on the chlorinator display.
Here is the problem:
App and touch panel show diagnostic data fields which are not being populated-cell voltage,current,polarity,instant salinity even board temp.If it is not a supported feature why have those fields?
Hayward official video and OmniLogic panel manual clearly show those fields displayed and populated with data!
Is there an issue with AquaRite board not sending all the data?

Do you have an Aquarite hooked up to your Omni ?If so do you control the Aquarite with the Omni or is the Aquarite not in slave mode? What model Aquarite? S3 or 900 series? If properly hooked up to automation it should read diagnostics through the Omni. If there is no comm cable and the Aquarite is not set to Slave or Remote it will not send data to the Omni.

AquaRite 900.It is connected with data cable to Omni and controlled by Omni.It reads diagnostics but only average salt and cell type.Other fields are blank.It may be that that functionality is only available with S3 since one of the fields has cell temp reading and t-cells don't have thermistors.

Did you ever get an answer to this. I have the same issue

Yes.It only diplays all data with AquaRite S3.I installed S3 and have all data!It is a very nice chlorinator-it adjust chlorine output by regulating the current not timing the on/off cycles with full current.Freeway cruising vs city driving....

So I have to replace the old Aquarite? With the new controller and wire it to the VS omni

I have Omnihub so I got S3 since the hub has a controller(touchpad)If your VS Omni does not have a controller you can get S3 Omni which has controller.Than your S3 becames the "control central"You can connect air tem,water temp sensors to it,heater,VS pump and Omni version has two high voltage relays.It is very nice.
