Is the check system light on on my salt cell?
I replaced my salt cell (T-15) Hayward / Aquarite – I checked installation and my wiring etc. and all seems to be in order. My check system light is on and despite adding a lot of salt my reading is still saying very low salt and stuck at 2200 ppm.
How to troubleshoot problems with your salt cell?
Starting with the average salt reading. Turn the switch to ‘Off’, then back to ‘Auto’. Wait for the relay to click (about 5 to 10 seconds). Press the ‘Diagnostics’ button 5 times, this will bring up the instant salt reading.
What to do if your salt level is above 3200ppm?
If salt level is above the range, partially drain the pool and/or spa and refill with fresh water to achieve a salt level of 3200ppm, refer to page 9, Step D. If the salt level is not high, verify the correct cell is being used then reset (follow steps for How to Reset Average Salt Levels above)
When to add salt to a salt cell?
If value is not reading within 500ppm of independent test, then replace cell. If number is reading within 500ppm of the independent test and the ‘Inspect Cell’ LED is flashing, add salt until level is above 2700ppm. The ‘High Salt’ LED will be ON when the cell amperage is above the maximum limit.

When is a SWG salt readout is wrong?
The only times when a SWG salt readout is normally wrong is when the water is cold or the cell is about to fail. When the cell is failing the salt level will read lower than actual. It is more or less unheard of for the salt level to be wrong high, and common for pool stores to be way off, so I wouldn’t worry about it.
When do I reset the average salt level?
How to Reset Average Salt Levels. The Average Salt level needs to be reset for start up, when a board is replaced, when major adjustments are made to the pool water, and when a cell is replaced. Note: new boards will display a factory default of 2800ppm. Step 1: To reset, move the switch to ‘Off’ and then back to ‘Auto’.
