Hey folks, I hate to be a poor-weather friend 
, but here I am with a problem.
I have a Hayward AquaRite Goldline t-15. Had it for about 6 years. Along about year 1.5, I had to replace the inrush limiter (as I learned to do on this site) and that solved my problem. I don't remember now what the symptoms were then.
I actually have two issues: At some point a few years ago the display went all funky. For instance the default salt display would go to a decimal instead of a normal reading (e.g. 2.9 equals 2900). I tested this out so I knew it to be true. But with no other problems, I was OK with the rest of the display. But now I have a problem.
I have a LCD display but no lights. I have downloaded the service manual and will run the routines tomorrow, but I have little faith in the manual because a) it says nothing about the inrush cap that cost me $2.15 and fixed my problem, and b) because my display does not seem to correspond to the button pushes described in the manual. Here's what I'm showing:
Default display = 3.1 (I know this is salt)
First button push = number starts very low then creeps up to 17, at which time I hear a click and the Power and Generating lights come on. It then creeps higher to 18.6 or so (takes about 20 seconds), at which time there is another click, the Power and Generating lights go off, and the number plummets to very low again. This cycles continuously.
Second button push = 0.0
Third button push = 24P (I know this is the number I have the percent dial set at)
Fourth button push = -0.0
Fifth button push = AL -0
Sixth button push = R1.55 (resistance?)
Seventh button push = t-15 (Cell identifier)
None of the numbers change throughout the cycling in "First button push" above.
Sure would appreciate any help you all can lend. Had to shock the pool while fam was in town when I discovered the problem because the pool got so cloudy.
Thanks All! Jim.

Good job. Thanks for the update.
