Folks,
My SWG recently decided to go crazy. I am not sure exactly when it started, but I know it's recent, so I suspect it could have happened after an electrical outage we had.
Anyway, here are the symptoms and readings - hope someone can share a light here.
WHAT'S GOING ON?
No matter what I do, it doesn't detect the water flow and salt level - but it shows the right water temperature for instance.
The flow sensor and the cell are both relatively new (replaced in late 2019).
Initially, moving the Superclorinate switch would turn the "Generating" LED on for a few seconds and then off, but after I power cycled the unit, it no longer works.
I was going to take the cell to be checked, but as the Superclorinate switch doesn't do anything, I assumed the problem was something else...
FYI I turned off the power to check the thermistor (which I replaced years ago when it broke) and the rest of the components, but I didn't see anything weird inside.
I attached some pictures, but to me it seems the thermistor looks fine - not sure about the rest.
DISPLAY:
The LCD display current shows the following: 0, 72, 30.6, 0.00, 79P, -0, AL-0, r 1.58, t-9.
The Power LED and No Flow are on. Everything else is off.
SWITCHES & BUTTONS:
The Diagnostics button works fine (as I was able to get the readings above.
The Output dial also works well (if I move the Diagnostics to it I can see it changing).
The Superclorinate switch works when used for other functions such as changing the cell type, but does not work at all for it's normal function.
Any thoughts??? Thanks in advance!!!!!!
