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

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

The bulbs in mine quit working fairly reg. I sent a set back because the light went out within a week, they really need to improve the setup...The last few times the bulb quit I was able to get it working again by clearing the contact points (screw heads ) where the top connects to the bottom. I loosened the small Phillip's screws and retightened them on the wire then I used a tooth pick in the bulb holder to bend the contact points away from the side so it would contact the bulb. So far this has fixed mine the last 3 times they quit. As far as a bulb the only thing I found that MIGHT work is they sell a replacement lcd bulb for the old 3v MINI- MAG flashlights I found one a Lowes $5 for (2) but I haven't tried one yet..It is nice to have the Lights working I hope Hobbs fixes the poor workmanship of the lights I really like the salt & pepper set.

extensive net review showed me that answer as following. Check the software revision rx.xx on your screen. r1.50 came after 2009 and is compatible with all the newer models (read the manual to configure the board for the cell size) Pre 2009, r1.4 and below are only compatible with T cell-15, unless you upgrade the board. The board is about $400 and the extra price for the cell from the 15000 gallon chlorinator is $200. Which means you'll make up the difference after 8-10 years.

I've installed this ballast once before and it has worked for about 3 yr. I just received another one, and I noticed that it specifically states that it not for use with dimmers. Go figure. I don't know what else to use, though. Unfortunately, the new one doesn't appear to work at all.

Sorry no help here but I had the same issue and I would see it fluctuate back and forth so I just got a new ballast. These were known to have lots of problems I was given mine by a hydro shop owner who did not want to deal with them anymore even the company would not accept them back. Goodluck

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.

You have cause for concern. I installed 6 Commercial Electric T91 LED modules in new cans in my kitchen less than 3 years ago. One went last summer and of course, the model is discontinued. Luckily, I found one on eBay. Home Depot actually refunded the purchase price for the it. Now, a second one has gone out and not even eBay has any. The T91 is distinctly different from any other model that I've found, so now I will have a mis-matched one in the kitchen. So much for the long life expectancy of these things.

This doesn't sound like a flow switch problem. The first thing I do is remove the cell and clean it. Water first then after capping the end of the cell with black cap acid wash. Ten percent acid solution and don't wash any more than necessary. The best way to check salt level is with salt test strips.

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?

No. I pulled mine apart because of the same issue and found it was the back lighting (shine a flashlight when it is on and you will see your screen still works, just no backlight). The lower CCFL wires for mine had a bunch of unidentifiable crystal like corrosion which might be due to bad SIC insulation but my CCFLs worked fine. I cleaned the corrosion and tested good. Prior to that I swapped out all of my electrolytic capacitors on the supply board. Still nothing. Considering getting a new one to match my good one or buy two new monitors and move on.....not sure yet.

I fought the same problem and found out there is a two year guarantee on this light, I contacted the manufacture and after a bit of haggling they sent me a new one (I had lost the receipt). I have used these lights for 10 years, there is a small problem with the photocell, however there is no other light that compares with one, I suggest the lower wattage light, still plenty of light (35 watt)

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.

I haven't had one issue with my pool all summer. Have you tried running the boost cycle to address the green? I haven't added any chemicals other than the salt all season & my water is crystal clear! I run the boost about once a week (after heavy rain or heavy usage) My pool is small 14' so I am sure that is a factor if you have a larger pool. I have read about people getting the too much salt issue. Usually emptying a little usually does the trick. But if it continues I would contact the company. It may be an issue with the system (which I have heard too) They do honor their warantee, but are very slow. Good Luck I haven't had one issue with my pool all summer.

First, I would ask how you know you have enough salt? Second, I was having that issue so I just purchased a Taylor testing kit to insure that I did. Also, you need to make sure you keep the unit extremely clean so that it can generate the chlorine for your pool. I am new at this and just learning so I am no exoert.

Check the type of salt you are using. I had the same issue using dead sea salts which are potassium and magnesium salts. I suspect that the test kit measures NaCl which is what the manual specifies. The system seemed to work just fine but to appease the sensor I changed the mix to 30% plain pool NaCl salt.

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.
