I moved into this house a year ago and was told the salt system wasn’t functional and they’d been using a service that added chlorine. I kept up with the chlorine, but now want to go back to using the salt system. I have a lot of experience tinkering with Autopilot systems, not Hayward. The display on the board works, none of the lights come on. I did see the check flow light after I threw the breaker, which blinked red and then turned off. Things I’ve tried:
- took cell (t-15) to the pool store and had it tested, it’s surprisingly fine
- replaced flow switch which had its wire cut and poorly spliced several times
- had water tested and added salt
This morning I popped open the case and I think I’m dealing with the burnt out coin-like thing on the motherboard. I took pics if anyone can confirm, and what the steps are to fixing it. I figure if that’s it I can start there and then look at replacing the board. If that doesn’t work.
