I bought a house with a pool at the end of last year and I am having some trouble getting the salt generator working. I think I have it narrowed down to the surge card in the power center, but I wanted to get some perspective from the community. The 10 amp mini blade fuse blows instantly regardless of whether or not the actual SWG is hooked up. I cant find any visual defects. I have re-wired the inside to clean it up. No issues with the pump. I tested the transformer output with a multimeter and I'm getting 31.0-31.4 V ac. I saw in another thread here that it should be between 24-30 V ac, so would this be a problem with the surge card, or is the transformer putting out too much and causing an overload? TIA!

SF,
If the Surge card pops the fuse when the cell is disconnected, then the surge card is bad..
This does not mean the cell is not also bad, but most likely it is ok.
Just buy a new surge card and move on..
Thanks,
