Hayward Aqua Rite (T-15)
Hey all. I don't pop in a lot but have been around here since the get go. So in 2022 we moved our pool to a new spot on the farmstead (1/8 miles) after it sat since 2016. This was a pool we'd ordered in 2005 along with an AquaRite SWG system. When we moved it over to the new yard and set up again in late summer 2022, we only installed the pool and hadn't yet installed anything additional - no solar panels, pump, nothing. We closed and opened last year to cut in the skimmer and attach the pump and filter. It was HOT so no solar needed yet. We wanted to build a new rack system this spring and incorporate the SWG so I sanitized old school with chlorine jugs. Long story short - I found out that my husband hadn't brought over the AquaRite equipment and in fact it was still at the old yard buried under rubble and dirt where he pushed down the old shed - since 2017. I dug it all out, cleaned it up, bought a new flow switch and turbo cell. I saw that the control board was filled with spiders and Asian beetles as well as a broken thermal limiter. Lucky thing is that the last time I ordered in 2014 (correction - 2012 according to the invoice) I ordered 2 of them and still had the new limiter. Soldered in that sucker and we are operational!!!! Everything is working properly. Hoping this doesn't jinx me! Also - I'm ordering 2 new inrush limiters today ($13 is a cheap fix)
