I’ve recently been having issues with my aquarite not showing accurate readings and bouncing all over causing no chlorine generation even though showing generating. I replaced both boards and tested salt level and calibrated. Seemed to work ok and was showing both correct voltage and amps. Next day went out and was showing voltage but no amps. So I went out and replaced the salt cell since it was 8 years old anyhow. Installed that and same thing, voltage and no amps. Made sure the cell was set for a T-15. It won’t even make the click when I turn off and then back on to calibrate. I have flow and the flow switch is 2 weeks old. So I have replaced the board, salt cell and flow switch. Did I possibly get a bad board? I put everything back on correctly and the jumper since it’s a 230v system. I’m about to give up and just go back to using chlorine.
 
Show us pictures of the board.

Where did you get the replacement board? Is it a genuine Hayward board?

Not an OEM Hayward board. When I got home from work today I swapped out the new board for the old Hayward board with the new salt cell and of course it appears to be working now. Generating and volts and amps. Showing around 28 volts and 5.8 amps while generating. Sodium level was within 100 of my salt test. I’ll give it 24 hours again and make sure it’s still working as the other board showed working and then quit somewhere around 12-24 hours later. Picture is the replacement board I tried out.
