Hello All,
The thermistor went out on my Aquarite SWG recently (again) and so I soldered a new one on. The lights came on as normal upon powering up the SWG. However, it was displaying a very low and inaccurate salt water reading and consequently not "Generating". Then the salt water reading went down to zero. My salt water in fact tests around 2800, btw.
Everything was hooked up properly and I began to fear my circuit board may be failing? Consequently, I found a great price on an identical circuit board off of Eb_y that was listed as brand new. The board arrived and does appear to be brand new but it does not seem to be working properly either? When I turn the SWG on the "No flow" light is blinking initially. It will then go off after a few seconds (as normal) and the "Generating" light will then come on briefly. It will then go off and at that point no lights are being displayed. No other lights ever come on with exception of the "No flow" and "Generating" lights, as noted. Whereas all of the lights will display (as normal) on my old circuit board. It just displays a bogus salt water reading and consequently won't generate.
Is there some sort of programing I am supposed to perform on the new circuit board first or is it just defective? It took a beating in shipping as the Seller did a poor job of packaging. Everything is hooked up properly. It has 240v power and the fuse is good. I am about to re-install my old circuit board.
Thanks,
Ralph
