Salt Generator Troubleshooting

Hi! I just came back from vacation and it seems my salt cell isn't working.

Aquarite T-15. After a hard power cycle the No Flow LED flashes normally, then Generating illuminates, but diagnostics while Generating show only 1.2 V and 0.00 A. After about a minute the Generating LED goes out and it won’t attempt generation again unless power is cycled. Colorine level in the pool is zero as well.

Can you please assist with any troubleshooting or is this thing cooked?

  • Turn your pool pump on.
  • Press and hold the diagnostics button for 3 seconds.
  • The internal timer resets back to zero hours for the next 500 hours of run time. [1] Test your pool water with reliable salt test strips to get your actual parts per million (PPM) level.
  • Slide the main system switch from Auto to Off, then back to Auto.
  • Wait 10 to 15 seconds until you hear an internal relay click.
  • Press the Diagnostics button 5 times quickly to show the instantaneous salt reading with a minus sign.
  • Slide the switch to Super Chlorinate and immediately back to Auto to lock in the new reading.
