Salt cell not generating when connected to Omnihub

[segma98]

Hi all. I have OmniHub and Hayward Swimpure plus salt chlorinator (which I think is rebranded AquaRite).I got the daughter board after confirmed with Hayward that it works with my chlorinator. Connected and added to my OmniHub. The issue I have is that the chlorinator doesn’t generate when connected to the hub but it will when disconnected. It does say remotely controlled as expected. Daughter board LED is on as it should. Any idea as of why? I made sure all the wires are connected correctly. No errors. The flow switch is connected to the AquaRite as per manual. It’s a new cell. Salt level is 2500. Water temp 62 F. Thank you.

Welcome to TFP.

Please show us pictures of the OmniHub board, the daughter board, the SwimPure board, and the wire connections between them.

What firmware level is in the SwimPure?

Pressing the diagnostic button sequentially will display:

• Default salt display
• Pool temp
• Cell Voltage - When not generating, the voltage is about 30 to 32 volts dc. When generating, the voltage drops about 1 volt per amp of current.
• Cell current
• Desired output (% of the knob)
• Instant salinity
• Product name
• Software revision (r.XX)
• Cell type

R1.59

What’s the Al-0, AL-1 …etc?

R1.59

What’s the Al-0, AL-1 …etc?

It is in the Wiki…

• AL-0 is AquaRite.
• AL-1 NatureSoft.
• AL-2 MineralSprings.
• AL-3 SmartPure.
• AL-4 This changes the default display from average salt to percent output.
• AL-5 This is used with Jandy automation.
• AL-6 means regular Aquatrol with a flow switch.
• AL-7 means AquaTrol RJ (Return Jet with no flow switch).

AL-6 and AL-7 are used on the AquaTrol, which is an AquaRite with a timer for above-ground pools.

AquaRite, Naturesoft, Mineral Springs, and Smartpure are essentially the same unit with different branding. Hayward does private labels for certain companies. Al-0 to al-3 are basically equivalent other than a superficial name change. AL-4 is not about the name, it just changes the default display. AL-5 needs to be selected for the Jandy automation to control the unit properly.

That comm wiring is pretty sloppy.

Try redoing that and make sure that it is all correct.

Appreciate your help. I have it set at AL-0.

Swimpure firmware is r 1.59
Is this ok or is there a way to upgrade firmware ?

It’s a new cell.

Hayward or generic?

Will do… it is recognized though on Omnihub. I made sure all wires are in the right order and no exposed parts.

Solved.
Just deleted configuration and did another from scratch and all working well.
