Move the SWG cell or leave it alone?

[red-beard]

I installed a standalone Hayward Aquarite system last summer. It uses the Hayward T-15 cell. My Aqualogic automation system quit working about 10 days ago. I replaced the main board over the weekend and it is NOW an Aqualogic Plus.
The new board looks like it has the ability to control my Hayward VSP, which I do plan to implement. It also looks like it has the ability to control the T-15 cell directly.
The VSP control is a no-brainer. But moving the Salt Cell, well the Aquarite does everything. I could leave the Aquarite in place and then have the Automation as a backup. Or I could pull the Aquarite system off the wall and put everything in the Aqualogic.
One of my buddies had issues with his system with the SWG, since there is a lot more heat in the box. The only advantage, I think I would be able to see the Salt Level and adjust the SWG with my remote.
Thoughts?

Consolidate or leave it alone?

All you have to do is unplug the cell from the old box and plug it into the new box.

The AquaLogic has always had the ability to control a cell.

Do you have a picture of the old board?

Yeah, I figured that out....after I bought the Aquarite. Could have saved myself a few hundred dollars. OTOH, I would have been in trouble with the dead board.

What was wrong with the old board?

Did the local display mount correctly on the new board?

Comm 2 error. That means the board is bad.

I moved the little posts. I could use new ones.

Were there holes in the board or did you have to drill new ones?

 

[red-beard]

The holes were there.

Ok, I thought that the spacing was different.

In any case, you can just plug the cell into the new board.
