Equipment:
Hayward G1-011049F-1 F GLC 13210 with GLX-CELL-15-W Turbo Cell
History:
After a brief power outage during a storm I noticed the pool didn't turn on when it was supposed to so checked and the panel said something like "Communication Error call 1-800-...."
1) Turned off and back on all breakers, main panel came up but did not know the time.
2) Set the time, all other settings (timers, valves, etc) seemed to be saved. Turned system on, everything seemed to work.
3) Switched to Spa mode and everything worked as expected but then the "High Salt/Amps" alarm came on.
4) Performed the usual reset of the Cell and the Average Salt Reading multiple times, made sure it was set to T-Cell-15 (it was). Noticed that the Diagnostic readout said 40.58V and 10.08A and research says normal should be lower than that.
5) After more research, pulled the main board to look for signs of burnt solder joints. Board looks pristine, no signs of anything wrong on both sides including K1 relay. (see images)
6) After more research, pulled and cleaned the Cell. No change.
7) Went to the pool store, they tested the Cell. It passed. Bought a new one (TCELL940SWP) anyway since mine was over 8 years old. Took it home, installed, still get "High Salt/Amps" (it also says "Very Low Salt") and still reads 40.58V and 10.08A.
8) I'm fairly certain that the Salt PPM read about 3000 before this happened so I think my salt level is within range for the T-Cell to turn on but I've ordered a Salt tester anyway just to be sure.
9) In summary, I think this means I need to get a new main board but the only hits I get on replacement for G1-011049F-1 is the GLX-PCB-MAIN and the layout on that board is slightly different than mine so not sure if I can use it?
Anyhoo, any advice y'all can give me would be greatly appreciated! (Thank you!)
