The Hayward Goldline Aqua Logic automation and chlorination models AQL-PS-4, AQL-PS-8-V, AQL-PS-8 AQL-PS-16-V, AQL-PS-16 use the GLX-PCB-MAIN board.
High Salt/Amps
The high salt warning comes on when the current exceeds 8 amps. This can be caused by high salt but also by high water temperatures. [1]
Check under the diagnostics menu for the correct cell size. If you select the cell size to t-3, t-5 or t-9 instead of the correct t-15 then the salt readout from the controller will be high salt.[2]
Common cause is failure of the solder joint to the K1 relay.[3] The K1 relay does not need to be replaced. It only needs to be re-soldered. To check if this might be your problem, unscrew the mother board and turn it over, if there is black smoke/burn marks at the K1 relay solder point, this is likely your problem.
Tips
- high amps can "blow" the solder joint and that high amps are most often caused by salt levels being too high.
- the motherboard has a 20 amp fuse on it. Unfortunately it seems the Amp limit on the relay is 20 amps too. It has been strongly recommended to replace the 20 amp fuse with a 15 Amp fuse to thus protect the relay and the K1 solder point.
- The K1 problem causes amps to always be exactly zero.[4]
