Hi,
For a month now my six year old AquaRite stopped generating chlorine. I purchased a new Hayward T-15 cell, and replaced the old one, but the "Generating Chlorine" LED only lights up after start up and then turns OFF.
The Check Salt LED turns RED, and Inspect Cell LED turns orange.
My system shows salinity level of 1800, but when I measured salinity using Taylor kit, I get between 3200 and 3400.
I called Hayward, and they gave me the number of their local service provider who I also called, and they suggested that I may not be generating chlorine because my CYA is low, or I have phosphates.
My CYA is low (can not even measure it), but it was always like that, and that did not influence my chlorine level in the past (typically btw 1-3). I don't think that phosphates are problem either.
My guess is that AquaRite shows the wrong Salt Level, and hence does not produce chlorine, but maybe I am wrong. Does anyone know how to fix/calibrate the salt level in AquaRite, or have any other suggestion?
