I have a 15000 gallon salt water pool with a Hayward sand filter, and Autopilot cell and Autopilot Pool Pilot Digital SWG. I've had nothing but issues the entire 13 years I've had this and doing this myself with my own research isn't working.
Right now the issue is the low amps - Cell? warning.
After running boost for about an hour, it's at 3000ppm salt, 28 volts, and 3.0a. The cell and cell cord are 4.5 years old and I know have been cleaned once in the past couple years with muriatic acid (I think). I haven't checked if it's clean yet, but I guess that's one thing I need to do. Should I just replace the cord first, or after 4.5 years, it's time for cell and cord most likely?
Otherwise, I've had to replace the pump and motor every few years also. They just get burnt up so quickly. I have to be doing something wrong.
Thanks in advance.
If I do need to replace the cell, saltpoolstore has a generic SC-36 / RC35/22 for $150 less with 5 year warranty as opposed to the $399 for Autopilot cell everywhere else?
