OB1 Posted June 18, 2011 Report Share Posted June 18, 2011 I have an Aquatrite chlorine generator. It has stopped reading the salt level,shows zero and zero on the instant reading also. the salt level tested with a salt strip is just over 3000 PPM. When I turn the unit on and check the voltage it shows 29.2 volts and .13 amps when it comes on. This lasts for about a minute then the low salt light comes on and the generating light goes out. I expect this means I have an issue with the circuit board ?? Any Ideas for me to fix the problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ps0303 Posted June 20, 2011 Report Share Posted June 20, 2011 What model do you have, T-3, T-5, T-9, or T-15? The voltage reading shouldn't be any higher then 26 and your amp reading is not correct unless you have a T-3 and meant to write 1.3. .13 is not a good reading for any of the models.

Pool Clown Posted June 21, 2011 Report Share Posted June 21, 2011 Your cell is not on, so you aren't going to see any amperage draw thats all. When was the last time you took the cell out, looked thru it, and how old is this cell. Typical life on a T-15 is (about)10,000 hours, or 5 years. Go and get the water tested somewhere that doesn't use test strips but an actual meter. Aqua-Rite states not to use strips as they are unreliable. We really need to see where the salt is first (easiest things first). Have you added salt recently? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
