My Swimpure panel is reading the dial setting for salt output, not the normal salt level. Also, it shows zero salt. Bad board?
Swimpure panel reads % output, not salt

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.

Pressing the diagnostic button sequentially will display:

Basic AquaRite Diagnostics.
This is the basic information we need to know in diagnosing a problem:- Report all diagnostic readings when you..
- Move the switch from auto to off and check all of the readings.
- Move the switch back to auto and recheck the readings.
- Move the switch to off for a minute and then back to auto and recheck the readings.
- What are the first seven characters of the cell and box serial numbers?
- What is the actual salinity and how are you measuring it?
SwimPure salt readings drop to zero after reset
My SwimPure Plus system is 7 years old and has been working just fine. Original cell has tested good twice in the last couple of months; I am meticulous about cleaning and acid washing. Salt is about 3000. T-15 cell running about 50-60% in summer. About a month ago I tested the water and...

Got the panel reset to read English, cleared the salt reading, and cleaned the salt cell. System reads 2900. We had to leave town for a couple of weeks so I haven't been able to do a complete update - apologies for the slow response. Back home next week so will continue then.
