My Hayward salt system is doing the infamous "low salt" reading when the salt levels are fine.
I had the cell tested, it failed the test. The salt cell system works great WHEN I can "fool" it. Like I can do a hard reset and it pumps chlorine out for a day or two. My entire ownership experience, I would have to frequently reset the system to get a salt reading. It was almost a weekly ritual.
Is there a way to "fool" it long term, like add a resistor somewhere?
A little background:
So I'm on my 2nd Hayward SWG cell in 4.5 years. The first one was a warranty replacement, the 2nd one exceeded the warranty so now I'm SOL. So now I'm most likely going to just ditch the system altogether as I haven't been happy with it. I was at first, but I have not had the luck other people have had with it.
I'm actually very fastidious about the water chemistry, PH, and cleaning the cell with a hose instead of soaking it in muriatic acid. I also would "not" use the cell during the winter to get more life out of it. All of this though, I got 18 months on my replacement. I just cant fork out another $800-$1000 for another one.
