Wish I could answer your question but I'm not qualified. Just know it worked for me. No modifications required for me. Sorry.

my lights were not working and my pool was not putting out chlorine, I purchased this item also, the hayward GLX-PCB-DSP display,installed very easy, but did not solve the problem so then I purchased a compupool 3GRC40GH generic aqua rite (t-cell 15) replacement salt cell, also installed easy. worked fine. sure saved me a bunch instead of calling out a pool guy

Yes, T-3 works with this board which is version 1.58. Easy replacement and uses existing display. I changed mine several months ago and it worked great all summer. You may have to use a higher generation rate than you did with a T-25, depending on pool size and water temp.

If your salt cell is 8 years old, I'd recommend having it checked at local pool store. The big box pool stores that sell salt systems can do a diagnostic on the cell. Ours does it free since it takes about 2 minutes for them to check. Our pool guy told us that salt cells generally last 3 to 4 years. Our pool is almost 9 years old and we are on our third one. Also about to be on our third control board, as our salt system isn't generating and the cell checked out as good.

If your salt is 3300, it may be too high. It depends on what your consider to be normal limits. We keep our pool level around 2900 during the Summer. We run it continuously due to the heat. We are above 90 degrees from April through October. Since your unit is 8 years old, you should replace the whole unit. Upgrade the whole unit.

First thought is have you inspected the interior of the cell? You can buy a cap that screws on either end of the discontected cell so you can pour Acid into it. Those fins inside get calcified to the point that they don't electricfy the water. I used a bamboo skewer stick to clean the metal fins after I soak it.I knew my board was fried when the digital #'s didn't display. I'd certainly check the cell first.

I had bought a T-15 replacement just prior to buying the new board. They work together like a dream. My pool lady is mad now as I don't ever need her. Your salt cell qualifies as an antique.

I'm sorry - i'm not technical enough to answer your question. All i know is that my system wasn't functioning and we noticed the burn on the motherboard. When we replaced it, everything worked fine. Sorry i can't be more help.

We had the KDS-60A2000....After purchasing three bulbs and still getting the greenish picture and the lamp warning message still coming on, learnt that there was some kind of defect in the model..Our t.v. tech. said it could not be fixed....so ended up buying a new one...Google your model to see if there was a recall.. Good luck..

I have not had to replace any bulbs and I have 7 lights and 1 spot light in one line. What gauge wire did you use? I used 12 gauge wire so I am able to use more that I have now? If you use used a smaller gauge wire that would be your problem. My email address is flintstone45@comcast.net if you have any other questions.

you need the T-cell-15. But those systems are capable of changing the program to accommodate several different cells. Just hit the diagnostic button until the cell type shows up, then toggle the switch between auto and super chlorinate until the cell your installing shows up then hit the diagnostic button again.

Your ballast and capacitator need to be replaced. Although the lamps last forever, the current manufactuers of ballast are junk. Best to replace whole light as cost to have someone replace ballast is probally more than cost of new light unless you have a friend who's an electrician. I have had to get three replacements in last 22 years. The last two only lasted 4-5 years a piece. Neighbors have same problem. Hopefully you can get your money back for the bulb and photo cell.

No. If flow light is green, the switch is good. Test water with a salt meter or take a sample to a pool store and have it tested. Also be sure the chlorinator is clean, no calcium build up. Remember to never unplug or plug-in chlorinator when powered up. How old is your chlorinator? Salt level needs to be at least 3500 ppm.

Ballasts do not determine kelvin temperature (or the color of the light)......it's the bulbs :-)

Sorry, I don't know. In researching microscopes recently I first learned that LED's are not necessarily standardized and may be proprietary. Thus, it would probably be wise (for both of us) to request the specification for the LED's used in the fixture. In fact, I'm going examine mine to see if the lights are even replaceable. It might be one of those disposable objects.

Our system continuously said low salt. We contacted the manufacturer and we were sent a new copper plate. Still didn't work. We gave up and now use the old chlorine method.

If you look at the other boards and reviews you may see the reasons. I had to return and replace sets that were DOA and the CSR department for TCL is overseas and their support network is very poor from what I've read. Amazon is very good about replacing a set in the first 30-45 days and I imagine that quite a few customers returned and replaced sets they had any problems with rather than to deal with TCL customer service. Since Amazon picks up the freight both ways it probably was just not worth it.

Laura, I'm not sure if it's the newest board but the price seems expensive. I just replaced the mother board on my salt system for $75.00. with a two year warranty. I sent the whole box to the repairman and he sent it back with the new board installed in five days for $75.00. I will try to find the vendor on Amazon and send you the info. Best regards, Dwayne Chatoney

Me too, but with a freshwater aquarium. Two of these lights are more than $60 and that is a lot to spend just because the leds "stopped working." Does anyone know what Marineland's warranty is, and if they are one of those companies that goes out of their way to honor the warranty or out of their way to NOT honor their warranty?

I am assuming you are running this into an Intermatic transformer, right? It works well for me but I Amazon won't let me upload a diagram. If you are following the same diagram I received with the switch and it isn't working I would double check everything and then contact Pentair. Check and see if your transformer powers your low voltage lights without the switch. If so you might have a bad switch. Just to be sure, you do have compatible LED lights, right? The switch does not generate the colors it just makes things easier to select patterns.

Mine arrived with a color changing light...do I just switch the light bulb or is that my only option? I have to unscrew the bottom to find out...I've had it plugged into my computer for about 15 minutes and the salt is cold.

I would love to buy anyone's that has stopped working somehow. I've bought 2 and my lights keep going out. I'm looking to cannibalize another to get my lights working again. I NEED my lights to work. It seems so simple inside, seems like a repair person could fix it easy enough. I could fix mine but I don't feel like learning to solder.

I would DOUBLE, TRIPLE check this..... when I review the product spec's it says nothing about saltwater system with pump. If I did not already own one of these pools I'd be so confused. Basically if you want a salt water pool you either need to purchase a pool that INCLUDES an 2in1 pump with saltwater system OR-you purchase a pool that comes with a standard issue pump and then additional & separate purchase of a saltwater system and connect it with your pool pump. We started off using a standard pump and buying pool chemicals (chlorine tablets/shock) then decided to try out saltwater and LOVED IT, less hassle less cost!!!! Only down side is that 5 years down the road the metal supports started to rust.

Yeah, thanks everyone. Really confusing reading online some people say nothing but salt, others say bleach, borax, stabilizer, shock. It's hard to know how to start it. Picking up my pool today and I have my three bags of salt and saltwater generator ready and waiting!
