Don't bother testing them because in order to access the thermistor...everything else is removed, it wouldn’t take much longer to just replace it. Produces 1.47 lbs/day. for a few moments. [21] Zero volts points to a bad thermistor. [46] The Hayward AquaTrol SWG uses a very similar board. The following AquaRite video will help you to configure and adjust the settings on your AquaRite. Hayward does private labels for certain companies. So what's the MOV in the AQR board for and how are they going to protect your main board? Turn off the incoming AC power to the SWCG. They have an aftermarket for $68 but I don't know - only 5 reviews. For the skilled tech-savvy, a simple timer would do the trick when upgrading the board. AL-5 needs to be selected for the Jandy automation to control the unit properly. And no way, for any downstream components to induce voltage spike or sags back to the MOV's.[48]. If you have a multimeter, you can check the resistance of the thermistor in the cell. The higher the salinity and/or water temperature, the higher the performance (chlorine output). The TCELL940 is a T-15 "long life" cell with a 4 year warranty. Produces 0.98 lbs/day. Page 16 GROUND Optional Hayward/Goldline, Pentair and Polaris controls: The Hayward/Goldline, Pentair and Polaris controls use a 4 wire connection to commu- nicate to the Aqua Rite and can be wired up to 500' apart. Not all SwimPure Plus models have the K4 relay. Total pool chemistry aqua rite pro and pro logic (6 pages) Lighting Equipment Hayward AquaRite AQR15 Owner's Manual. T-Cell-3 = 0.53 lbs/day = 15k gallons, 210 lbs total trichlor equivalent lifetime. Just like any other salt chlorine generator, the Aqua Rite may need a quick ‘tune up’ from time to time. AquaRite salt chlorinator is the convenient alternative to conventional chlorine - bringing the very best in soft, silky water with no more red eyes, itchy skin, harsh odors, or direct handling of chemical chlorine. I could have just installed the same part but decided it was time to improve things a little. The Aquarite, Goldline, and SwimPure Plus share the same GLX-PCB-RITE mainboard. The primary function of the SPST K4 Relay is to bypass the Thermistor as described above. Pin# 15 of U5 (MIC5841YN) switches from Hi to Lo state within a few milliseconds after the AC power is turned on. Goldline "Aqua-Rite" salt chlorinator problems Post by KMac » Wed 03 Jul, 2013 10:10 For those who have the PS-16 board with no diagnostic button, you need to do the following in order to calibrate the salt reading. For a better experience, please enable JavaScript in your browser before proceeding. Produces 0.735 lbs/day. There are six wires going to the cell, two white, two black, one red and one blue wire. When generating, the voltage drops about 1 volt per amp of current. As a MOV degrades, its triggering voltage falls lower and lower. 3200 ppm is the ideal salt level. If the cell reports did not satisfy the microcontroller, then it will instruct the relay to de-energize via U5 disconnecting power to the cell. Move the switch back to auto and recheck the readings. One can verify this by changing the T-cell type and see the salinity change. The AS32 2R025[15] will get up to 428 °F at its full current rating of 25 amps. It is only good on pools up to 25,000 gals. Most of the time this is due to an electrical surge. The reading should now reflect the average salt level. Reset AquaRite Salt Chlorination Inspect Cell Light If the Inspect Cell Light is the only LED light flashing, then you can reset it by simply holding down the diagnostic button for 3 seconds, then release. [9], To determine the total output (lbs chlorine gas) per day check the amps while running and multiply by 0.18. And I put it on superchlorinate and could tell the FC was increasing - Everything seems to be working fine. Assuming 24 volts DC and 6 amps, it’s like there are 2 sets of (6) 4volt batteries in series being charged with the sets in parallel. [47] It incorporates the K4 relay that protects the thermistor from overheating. AL-4 is not about the name, it just changes the default display. In diagnostics, AL-6 means regular Aquatrol, AL-7 means return jet. The ones that make less chlorine are most likely acid washed and each time they are acid washed they will lose some of their lifespan. The AquaRite uses the performance of the cell to determine salinity. One member used a screw terminal (Digi-Key part# ED2561-ND) to mount the thermistor on. To get the performance of the cell, divide the instant salinity by the actual salinity. If that doesn't work, it's time for a new cell. There are 4 extra wires in the cell cord (brown, orange, yellow and green) that are not used and do not go to the cell. It is an RJ11 Conn Jack, 6P/6C, RA Unshielded, part# 5555165-1, Digi-Key A31422-ND.[42]. Be aware of the following issues buying the generic cells: A member in the generic cell business warns about offshore companies "implying their cells are equal to the OEM but plates are only good for 3000 hours. TURN OFF THE POWER TO THE TIMER BOX. Hello , There was no answer in this thread for more than. For a direct replacement, I recommend a SL32 2R025 or 4R023 over the currently shipping 5R020. Members have had good experience with Salt Solutions T-15 cells[5] and the Chlorinator Pro CP-15 cell[6]. Ironically, I have not had to replace them since, so it was well worth the effort. Aqua Rite/Aqua Rite XL Diagnostics High Voltage Electrocution Hazard Hazardous voltage can shock, burn, cause serious injury and or death. Focus your troubleshooting on the salt cell. can actually control the Aquarite. T925 Extended Life = 480 lbs - 25,000 gallons, T940 Extended life - 725 pounds - 40,000 gallons. AquaRite salt chlorinator is the convenient alternative to conventional chlorine - bringing the very best in soft, silky water with no more red eyes, itchy skin, harsh odors, or direct handling of chemical chlorine. However, there should not be that much current going through the thermistor while operating. The numbers should be about the same +/- 200 ppm. The Inspect Cell indicator will now reset and will later come back on … Another way to tell that the AquaRite does not have a separate salinity sensor is that if the T-Cell setting does not match the cell type, the salinity will read wrong. If the ratio is less than 75%, it's time for a new cell. AL-5 needs to be selected for the Jandy automation to control the unit properly. More + Salt chlorinator with a wide range of chlorine production 8, 16, 22, 33 and 50gr/h/cl + Production configuration thanks to the LED display + Transparent cell to enable a visual check on production + Detection of presence of a pool cover for adjustement of chlorine production + Flow detector kit as an option + 9 levels possible of chlorine production Below is the circuit diagram for R1.59 of the GLX-PCB-Rite board. As the global leader in salt chlorination, Hayward provides clear, soft water and the most convenient sanitization method on the market to millions of pool owners around the world. It's an exact fitment except it's off white.[41]. If the AC power is first turned on, the K4 relay kicks in within a few milliseconds providing an ample time for the In-Rush Current Limiter to do its job as designed. Note that the colors do not match between the Hayward and Pentair wiring blocks. [13] Then move the switch to Superchlorinate and back to auto 3x or until the desired AL-X is shown on the display. They are connected in series, across L1 & L2 when configured for the 220V operation. Pull off the display board and reinstall it. The display board is $102 on Amzon - ouch. However, it's only needed during the first few seconds of operation. A thermistor hack is to put a binder clip on it. It is easy to damage the PCB or device mounting holes while attempting to remove the NTC Thermistors. Check the instant salinity reading and then cycle power to reverse polarity and recheck the instant salinity reading. Amps are the measure of the flow of electrons. [50], Cell voltage of 31 volts on the display is indicative that the Caps are charged via thermistor. Most visitors online was 3404 , on Jan 24 2020, How to tell if my AquaRite SWCG is working, Hayward Aqua Rite Salt Chorine Generator - LED on but stuck will not change, Hayward Aqua Rite not recalibrating, Instant Salinity and Salt Level stuck at Zero. There are no other wires going into the cell to support a salinity sensor. It's supposed to be used as a replacement for a cell that fails under warranty. Produces 0.53 lbs/day. Aqua Rite chlorine generators operating with software version 1.50 or later are designed to use one of 3 different chlorinator cells that are available from your authorized Hayward dealer. The black and white wires carry the power to the cell and are heavier gauge than the other wires. The Display Board (GLX-PCB-DSP) for the Hayward AquaRite will occasionally fail. The AQR will continue to chlorinate even with all the smoke and fire going on until the MOV's vaporized and you may not even notice anything unusual until the next time you inspect the board. When I switch to superchlorinate, that light comes on. The voltage reading on the display is a mirror of the voltage passing through the load side of the Thermistor. Revision 1.50 added the ability to select the T-cell type in the settings. If your PCB footprint can accommodate both types, then you will be far better off using the AS32. You can cut the legs of the old one and solder the new one to them at a 90 degree angle standing away from the board. Everything works, except the display is still stuck on 5.90. To estimate the performance of the Aquarite cell, divide the instant salinity reading by the actual salinity. Move the switch from auto to off and check all of the readings. Shading wouldn't hurt either. There are two V150LA2P, VARISTOR 240V 1.2KA, made by LittelFuse as the primary line of defense against transient or voltage spike. Toronto being one. It snaps in place on plastic standoff pins. There is no separate salinity sensor in an AquaRite. If it’s close, proceed. They have higher failure energy ratings. OTOH, pin# 15 on the older AQR mainboard has no circuit trace and the output is not assigned. The AquaTrol mainboard has another relay labeled as K3 for the timer and is irrelevant in this case.[52]. Disregard, the K4 from the drawing if your board does not have it! It may be a problem with the temperature sensor in the cell or a problem with the circuit board reading the temperature sensor. Conclusion . [54], A board has been repaired by simply removing U13 and U14, and bypassing them with a single 1N914 diode from the output of the +5V regulator to the output of U14. You need to be sure about the actual salinity by using a salt test like the Taylor K-1766. Equipment - Build, Use, and Repair. This allows the cells output percentage to be adjusted, turns the cell on and off with the pump, and if you have a spa you can set the cell to a much lower percentage automatically when in SPA mode. Use the Negative Black Terminal or the R15 (.015Ω) metal jumper on the board when measuring TP Voltage as shown in the pic adn pic. Misidentifying imported products to get around or reduce tariffs. It takes about 30 seconds for the unit to settle back on the default reading. LCD display will read “HOT” when the water temperature is above 140 oF. The RJ (Return Jet) model doesn't use a flow switch. Focus on the solder pads inside the red box as shown in the picture. Using an udjustable wrench, remove the black flow sitch from the flow switch tee. This nets about +4.35v into the processor. Alternatively, the two are in parallel across L1 & Neutral for the 120V configuration. When the number matches your strip result, turn the main switch from the “AUTO” to the “SUPER CHLORINATE” position and back to the “AUTO” position. I assume that the addition of K4 relay is one of the changes implemented on the latest Software ver r1.59 in an effort by Hayward to address the Thermistor issue.[53]. This page was last edited on 8 March 2021, at 21:18. Check to make sure that the T-Cell type is correct in diagnostics. Any outdoor rated 4 conductor cable can be used. If the amps are 8.0 or higher after you replace the thermistor, you should reduce the salinity to prevent repeated failures. With a OEM cell you can take it to an authorized dealer and they will replace it right then and there if it is a bad cell. Sometimes an AquaRite will get stuck on AL-6 or AL-7 with no way to switch back and sometimes an Aquatrol will get switched to AL-0 through AL-5 with no (known) way to switch back. This makes the box and cell work like a battery charger where the water between the plates is the batteries. If the button is not pushed for 30 seconds, the display will revert back to this salt display. Make sure that the pins line up with the correct holes that have metal. The upstream local circuit breaker has no function related to disconnecting an MOV. You are using an out of date browser. No Flow LED Flashing or ON. Basically, it acts as a surge protector. With the pump running and unit set to "Auto" position, press the "Diagnostics" button five times. We don't know if the AQR Sw ver r1.59 does. The initial failure mode of an MOV is always a short circuit in an attempt to limit the voltage supplied to an electric device by either blocking or shorting to ground any unwanted voltages above a safe threshold. Once the salinity is adjusted to optimal level, the calibration process can begin. MOVs are often connected in series with a thermal or line-fuse, so that the fuse disconnects before catastrophic failure can happen. total trichlor equivalent lifetime. The Average Salt level needs to be reset for start up and when a cell is replaced. What you are looking for in particular is any signs of burn mark or cold solder on the solder side of K1 and K2 relay. Revision 1.58 was from about 2011 to 2014. make sure the incoming AC feed is configured properly, turn on the AC power, set to 100% output and place the switch to Auto. The limiter only provides protection if it's cool. And it is normal for the 31 volts reading on the display to go down depending on the cell type when either K1 or K2 relay is energized. The Aquarite design appears to be used in other manufacturers products including: This is the basic information we need to know in diagnosing a problem: A AQR Communication Board aka a daughter board needs to be installed in the Aquarite to communicate with VS Omni automation through a RS-485 data link. [18], The thermistor is pretty much the only thing that fails in the AquaRite power box. T-9 has 13 Titanium Plates, 101 x 63mm. The Hayward chlorinators are backed by the best warranty in the industry. Step Four: Switch the Main Switch A number will pop up on the display screen and scroll down. The symptoms correlate to either of the following; A replacement board should fix this issue. Push down to "off" position for 2 seconds, then back to "on" or "auto" When I bought my Aquarite in 2004, it came with an SL32 2R025 NTC Thermistor (548J fail threshold, 2 Ohms cold resistance). [10], Here are the dimensions of the Hayward plates:[11]. yes to both. t-9 = 354 lb chlorine gas lifetime or 361 days at 100% or 8,664 hours at 100%. Some people have had good experiences and saved money by buying a rebuilt cell or a generic cell. To estimate the performance of the Aquarite cell, divide the instant salinity reading by the actual salinity. For Aquatrol, the AL setting is either set to AL-6 or AL-7. The system should begin to recalibrate. Aqua Rite salt level reads zero. Aug 12, 2019 #1 I've just restarted my system after a refill. Diagnostic Displays Sequential pushes of the small "diagnostic" button next to the LCD display will cause the Aqua Riteto display the following information: 1. Mar 24, 2010 103 Chapel Hill, NC. With over 200,000 members, TFP is the largest and most influential pool & spa website on the Internet. [45] It is being practiced by thousands of pool owners just like you. This should enable replacing the thermistor in the future without having to solder. If the performance is less than 75%, the cell is failing and it's time to replace it. It should read 30-35 Volts DC across side A & B. place the switch to OFF position and then back to Auto. It holds it together and acts like a heat sync. TFP recommends you get a cell at least 2X your pool water volume. But my display shows 5.00, then it changed to 5.60, now it's at 5.90. To test the thermistor test between points 6 and 10 using a multimeter, the resistance should follow a 10k thermistor chart. Thread starter lews; Start date Aug 12, 2019; Forums. T-5 has 7 Titanium plate, 150 x 63mm. JavaScript is disabled. You can leave the binder clip on while you wait for a new thermistor to arrive.[26]. pressing the Diagnostics button two times. Desoldering these Ametherm devices from the Aquarite main PCB is not an easy task for the inexperienced or ill-equipped. AL-4 is not about the name, it just changes the default display. You can get the age of the cell from the serial number. [56], See Salt Cell Failure - Post-mortem with pictures. The cell output reduces to 20% at 60°F and below if % is above 20%, The cell shuts off when water temperature at 50F and below, LCD displays COLD when water temperature is below 50F. If the incoming AC feed is configured properly, the voltage between the two yellow wires should read 24 volts AC. The K1 and K2 carry the DC low voltage (polarity reversal) to the salt cell. Make sure to take pictures before you disconnect the wires so you can connect them all back in the right place. [23], Usually you can see cracks in the coating on the thermistor indicating it’s bad. To reduce the risk of electrocution and or electric shock hazards: • Only qualified technicians should remove the panel • Replace damaged wiring immediately • Insure panel is properly grounded and bonded Warning! after you hear the click, measure the DC voltage between pins 1 and 2 of the J5 connector on the board. The model number should be inside the door. Amps over 8 can overheat the thermistor. Aquarite® Pro is suitable for use with all pools and only consumes a minimum amount of salt as part of its operation. I assume the 5R020 is still what is being shipped in current models. AL-0 to AL-3 are basically equivalent other than a superficial name change. While the Aqua Logic® system also has a 3 year limited warranty, the accessory products are only covered for 1 year. The marking code on the U13 is unreadable hence, a wild guess on the schematic! For a better experience, please enable JavaScript in your browser before proceeding. If the light is on steady, then it thinks that the flow switch is open. T-15 has 13 Titanium Plates, 150 x 63mm. How do you change Aqua Rite flow switch? That new board eventually suffered a blown NTC Thermistor too and I had to replace it. If you take this route, Safety must come first! To reduce the risk of electrocution and or electric shock hazards: Only qualified technicians should remove the panel Replace damaged wiring immediately Insure panel is properly grounded and bonded O HAYWARD Page 1 . Inrush current depends on what part of the sine wave the ac voltage is in when power is turned on.[14]. Holding the plug vertically with the cord going down and looking at the connection points. If you're technically inclined, you might save the existing board by inspecting the solder or by replacing the relay if determined faulty. The SWG appears to be working - no flow light, then green generating light. Ordering one branded cell and receiving a different brand or even a different model and calling it a free upgrade. Then move the switch to Superchlorinate and back to auto 3x or until T-15 or whatever the correct cell type is shown on the display. How to Replace an Aqua Rite Flow Switch. T-15 = 533 lb chlorine gas lifetime or 362 days at 100% or 8,688 hours at 100%. Even though a 10-position connector is being used, the T-Cell only uses 6 of the 10 pins. What is the actual salinity and how are you measuring it? start by pressing the ‘Diagnostics’ button two times. The AQR Daughter Board Installation Manual is attached to this thread. With the correct cell in place, move the switch to auto and momentarily push the diagnostic button to display the cell type "T-X". K1 or K2 Bad solder (most likely suspect), Logic Controller failure (worse case scenario). Pool Aqua Plus 8 Function Salt System How Much Goldline Controls AquaTrol RJ …, Hayward GLX-PCB-DSP display PCB is designed to use with Hayward Goldline Aqua Rite salt chlorine generator model AQR and also compatible Goldline Controls…. Turn off the power or place the switch to OFF before reconnecting the salt cell. It's not designated as a retail cell. The T-15 has 13 Titanium Plates, 150 x 63mm. AL-4 is not about the name, it just changes the default display. Aqua Rite/Aqua Rite XL Diagnostics High Voltage Electrocution Hazard Hazardous voltage can shock, burn, cause serious injury and or death. T-Cell-15 (940) = 1.47 lbs/day = 40k gallons, 580 lbs. I guess I need the display panel. With low salt the unit will make less chlorine at the same set point as the standard model. Press the "Diagnostic" button five times in a row once the system produces the clicking sound. As long a generic cell is a T5 or T15, and the jumper is set correctly, the cell will work. The steady state current rating (SSI) should be at least 20A. Aquarite, naturesoft, mineralsprings and smartpure are essentially the same unit with different branding. Hayward does private labels for certain companies. The salt cell does not have the DC voltage needed to function. I removed and cleaned the display connectors, and now it shows 5900 (and won't change with the button). It's like something reset???? When the unit reads ‘AL-4’ move the switch up to ‘Super Chlorinate’ and back to ‘Auto’. [8], The low salt unit is designed to make chlorine at low salt level without the unit showing a low salt level service light. As the global leader in salt chlorination, Hayward provides clear, soft water and the most convenient sanitization method on the market to millions of pool owners around the world.
