Aqualogic High Salt/amps Cell Reading Salt Higher Than Actual

runcdm

I just replaced my T-prison cell xv Turbo prison cell with a new T-cell 15. When the system begins to run I get this bulletin, "Chlorinator Off High Salt/Amps." So later in the messages I get, "Check Organization Loftier Salt/Amps." I checked the instant common salt reading and it is 4800, which I know is manner too loftier. I took a h2o sample to the local pool shop and they said my salt is 2800.

I already drained a human foot off my pool and added fresh water.

is the system reading the slat level correctly? Should I add more fresh water?

Welcome to TFP!

It is mutual for onetime cells that are merely starting to fail to read low salt, when the salt level is actually fine. Adding salt allows the older cell to go along working for a while longer. By the time the former cell fails, your salt level can be quite high. The new cell will all of a sudden read the salt level correctly, and show it as being very loftier. I suspect that this is what happened to you. If then, the only alternative is to replace water until the salt level comes down to something more reasonable.

Pool store common salt tests are very unreliable. While well-nigh anything is possible, it is more likely that the pool store common salt test is wrong than that a new cell table salt reading volition exist wrong. One expert double check is to see if the SWG responds to the h2o replacement and lowers it'due south salt reading. Remember that the SWG averages over 24 hours, then the reading will drift down over 24 hours until information technology settles at a new reading. If the SWG reading doesn't become downwards, then I would suspect a problem with the SWG. But if it goes downwardly every bit y'all would expect, then the salt level probably really is too loftier.

Cheque nether the diagnostics menu for the correct jail cell size.
If yous select the cell size to t-3, t-v or t-9 instead of the correct t-15 then the common salt readout from the controller volition exist high salt.

Aqua Logic Salt low/amps High - Cholrinator Off Loftier Salt/Am

Hello!

I accept a slightly unlike problem: I recently purchased online a new Heyward/Goldline T-cell-xv chlorinator. This was a direct replacement for the 6 year. old original cell which had finally failed. I have an Aqua Logic controller and I checked all the settings and they are per the instructions which came with the unit â€" same as the old unit of measurement so no settings were changed. This was a directly like-for-like replacement, but when I plugged it in and turned it on, it keeps tripping off on loftier table salt/amps. On the diagnostic menu, the readings show 42V, 10.02A amps and salt at 1800 ppm. Thursday salt is low and the amps are loftier but no settings were changed â€" on the one-time unit, amps would be around 5A.

I should mention that the old unit failed onetime over a 2 week period while I was out of town - given how cloudy my pool was, I am asumming it was early on in the first calendar week. When I realized that information technology would take several days to go the new chlorinator unit, I threw chlorine pellets in both skimmers and als added some non-chlorine shock treatment. The pool is at present clear and the chlorine is OK.

So my question is: is this new unit of measurement defective, is the boosted chlorine or shock treatment causing the high amps or am I missing something else? Thanks in advance.

Re: Aqua Logic Salt Too High - Cholrinator Off Loftier Salt/Amp

I am having the same problem too! I received the "No Cell Ability" error. Figuring that my prison cell had just worn out later on three years, I purchased a new prison cell. Later on installing the new jail cell, on the Diagnostic Carte du jour, I am receiving the "Chlorinator Off - Loftier Salt/Amps" error bulletin. On the default menu, I am receiving the "Bank check System - High Salt/Amps.

If I force the cell to start, it gives me the post-obit for about ten seconds: twoscore.62V; x.04A; 79F; 2100ppm - just before the cell shuts off and reverts dorsum to the "Chlorinator off...." mistake message. And so my common salt level is not too high (I ever keep it low) but the Amps seem loftier?

I have a Aqua logic PS-8 with a T-fifteen prison cell. No solar panels.

Help!

Re: Aqua Logic Common salt Too High - Cholrinator Off High Salt/Amp

Is information technology a Hayward cell or a generic Hayward equivalent cell?

DJConn

Re: Aqua Logic Common salt Too High - Cholrinator Off High Table salt/Amp

The offset cell was a Hayward cell. The 2nd cell (the 1 plugged in now) is a generic jail cell from Compupool.

Re: Aqua Logic Salt Too High - Cholrinator Off High Salt/Amp

Trouble RESOLVED!

The effect was acquired by a broken/weak solder indicate on the K1 relay. I learned from some other discussion boards that this is common problem with the Aqua Logic/Hayward boards. The K1 relay did not demand to be replaced. It just needed to be re-soldered. I will attempt to adhere a picture. To check if this might be your problem, unscrew the mother board and turn it over, if in that location is black smoke/burn marks at the K1 relay solder signal, this is probable your problem. It was an easy soldering job to rut up the soldering joint and add a piffling solder. Very simple and it saved me $600+ to replace the mother lath.

I am shocked at how common this problem is merely did non find whatever info on this board, and so am passing it along. I also learned a couple other things from the other boards. 1st: loftier amps can "blow" the solder articulation and that high amps are near often caused by salt levels being besides loftier. For me, it was my practise to add salt directly to the skimmer boxes. This would certainly cause an extremely high salinity level equally the table salt was being dissolved and pulled through the organisation. In the time to come, I will turn off my turbocell before adding salt. 2d: the motherboard has a twenty amp fuse on it. Unfortunately it seems the Amp limit on the relay is twenty amps too. Information technology has been strongly recommended to supplant the twenty amp fuse with a xv Amp fuse to thus protect the relay and the K1 solder betoken. I intend to do this tomorrow.

I hope others detect this info useful.

Re: Aqua Logic Salt Too High - Cholrinator Off High Common salt/Amp

This fix worked for my unit as well. My new generic salt cell seems to be running fine at present. Thanks!

Re: Aqua Logic Salt Too Loftier - Cholrinator Off High Salt/Amp

I cannot thank you plenty for this forum. You just saved me hundreds of dollars as I was at a loss what to exercise and my pool guy said the whole board needed to exist replaced. instead, I bought a $fifteen soldering gun and some solder and fixed it in x minutes!

Cheers!!

It is common for one-time cells that are just starting to fail to read low common salt, when the salt level is really fine. Adding salt allows the older cell to continue working for a while longer. By the time the old prison cell fails, your salt level can exist quite high. The new cell will suddenly read the salt level correctly, and show it as being very high. I doubtable that this is what happened to you. If and so, the only alternative is to supervene upon water until the common salt level comes downwardly to something more reasonable.

Pool store salt tests are very unreliable. While most anything is possible, it is more likely that the pool shop salt test is wrong than that a new cell salt reading will be wrong. Ane good double check is to run across if the SWG responds to the water replacement and lowers information technology'southward common salt reading. Remember that the SWG averages over 24 hours, and so the reading will drift down over 24 hours until it settles at a new reading. If the SWG reading doesn't go downward, and then I would suspect a problem with the SWG. Only if it goes down equally you would wait, so the salt level probably really is as well high.

This absolutely true. I had same feel. Just keep draining and adding water until information technology equalizes

Re: Aqua Logic Salt Too High - Cholrinator Off High Salt/Amp

I too simply fixed this problem by re-soldering that one joint in less than 10 minutes. My puddle builder was going to accuse me $800 to replace the board and I did information technology for zero.

Re: Aqua Logic Salt Too Loftier - Cholrinator Off High Salt/Amp

PROBLEM RESOLVED!
The outcome was caused by a cleaved/weak solder point on the K1 relay. I learned from some other discussion boards that this is mutual problem with the Aqua Logic/Hayward boards. The K1 relay did non need to be replaced. It only needed to be re-soldered. I will attempt to attach a picture show. To check if this might be your problem, unscrew the female parent board and turn information technology over, if in that location is black fume/fire marks at the K1 relay solder betoken, this is probable your trouble. Information technology was an piece of cake soldering job to estrus upward the soldering articulation and add a picayune solder. Very unproblematic and it saved me $600+ to replace the mother board.

I am shocked at how common this trouble is merely did not find whatsoever info on this board, so am passing it forth. I besides learned a couple other things from the other boards. 1st: high amps can "blow" the solder joint and that high amps are well-nigh oftentimes caused past common salt levels being too high. For me, information technology was my practice to add together table salt directly to the skimmer boxes. This would certainly cause an extremely high salinity level as the salt was beingness dissolved and pulled through the organisation. In the future, I will turn off my turbocell before adding common salt. 2nd: the motherboard has a twenty amp fuse on information technology. Unfortunately it seems the Amp limit on the relay is xx amps too. Information technology has been strongly recommended to supervene upon the 20 amp fuse with a xv Amp fuse to thus protect the relay and the K1 solder point. I intend to practice this tomorrow.

I hope others find this info useful.

Is that the before or after motion picture? I've got this aforementioned effect. thanks

can you lot post a detailed moving picture of the how the colored wires go on the correct side of the circuit board.

Re: Aqua Logic Table salt Too High - Cholrinator Off High Salt/Amp

Wow. I'm now having this verbal problem. How did you guys get the main board free from all the wiring? I'm daunted to think I could get it hooked back up correctly.
