Hello all. My Aqua logic says chlorinator of low voltage. Any idea what is causing this and how to fix it?

What is your current salt level? What is the required minimum/maximum salt level per manual for that device?

My salt level is 5000 I usually keep it at 3000 but I was traveling and had a pool guy care for it for a month. Does high salt ruin the chlorinator?

The Aquarite SWCG is very susceptible to damage with an elevated salt level. Not the cell, the board in the control panel.

Thank you. I have an aqua logic not an aqua rite. Any suggestions for possible solutions?

I think the electronics are the same. Let's have @JamesW provide some guidance.
Can you post the diagnostic readings and then reverse polarity and post the new readings?
Can you show the display that shows the message?

Check the voltage from the transformer and from the rectifiers.
Check the input voltage.
The Prologic is the same as the Aqualogic.

It can damage the system.
Why is the salinity at 5,000 ppm?
How are you getting that number?
Don't operate the system with the salinity that high.
Get a K-1766 salt test kit.
How old is the system?
What are the first 7 characters of the box and cell serial numbers?
Can you show a picture of the cell?
What is the cell size?
Is the correct cell size selected in the settings?

The voltage is low, which can be low input voltage, a bad transformer or maybe bad rectifiers.
Check the input voltage, the voltage from the transformer and the voltage from the rectifiers.
The board might be misreading the voltage.

Check the configuration menu to see what cell type is selected.
Make sure that the cell type selected matches the actual cell type.
Check the salinity with a K-1766 salt test kit to see if the salinity reading is accurate.

I always keep it at 3000. I had a pool guy for a month because I was traveling and now it’s reading 5000.

I’m getting that number from the display. I’m the system is just under 3 years old and I don’t have a salt test kit.
Maybe they added too much salt or maybe they changed the cell type in the configuration menu and that can cause the salinity reading to be incorrect.
I don’t think he played with the system. It might be that he added too much salt. What can I do in the meantime?
