Tried turning on the filter the other day and nothing happened....ugh. So I have a 13 year old Hayward Aqua Rite Salt system and started troubleshooting via this website, I think it's the transformer but wanted to get some feedback as the items I found in the forums are not clear. I'm using the Hayward pdf for troubleshooting found at http://haywarddocs.info/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/AquaRite-Troubbleshooting-Guide.pdf
1. Per page 5 of the powerpoint I have voltage into the controller, voltage from gnd lug to terminal A-1 is 120VAC and A-4 is 120VAC (jumper is present so total input is 240VAC)
2. The measurement of the transformer primary seems ok (Blue-White is 2.3 ohms & Grey-Violet is 2.7 ohms) recommended range was 2.0 - 2.9 ohms.
3. Measuring the two Yellow wires on the transformer secondary shows 0 VAC, I removed the wires from the lugs and measured again but still 0VAC.
From this I think the transformer is bad even though the primary measures good impedances, is this wrong? Basically if the transformer has good voltage on the primary I'm assuming that regardless of load/no load on the secondary there should be some voltage there but isn't so before I purchase a transformer wanted to check w/someone that has more knowledge.
Thanks much!!!
