Does the controller tell you the last time regenerated. Does the salt tank fill with water when it starts the regeneration process leaving it empty "no water in tank" when completed. thanks

Doesn't tell you the last regeneration time. I have it overridden, cycling every three days with my water condition. Brine tank fills as its last sequence. You can download the manual and read its spec. before purchasing.

Yes it does. We have ours set for once a week. The tank does automatically refill as well. As compared to another water softner we had at a different house and the cost, this was an excellent buy!

If concerned you can back flush the tank before each use and recharge with salt. The manufacturer recommends back flushing every 6 months. Clean water sitting in the tank should not be a real issue for 20 days.

Ours is submerged all the time 24/7, we use it as a sewage pump and it has worked great, we pump once a week. Not sure about salt water.

The chlorine you add burns off anyways so there is no issue of using the generator. I startedmid season a couple years ago and love the thing. mmy only other suggestion is to make sure you get the salt level right at 3000 parts per million don't go higher than that or it will taste salty. make sure you know how many gallons are in the pool and then go to a pool supply place and have them do the calculations for how much salt you'll need

There are two models one for fresh and one for salt I love mine on salt reef aquarium have had for almost 2 yes

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.

Hi, this is Steve over at Aqua Products. 1st this issue may be hard to diagnose over the internet, so if you want to talk to someone live please call 1-800-845-4856. Ok here are some ideas. First if you bring the cleaner up to the pool surface you should be able to see if the water flow switches from forward to backward after say 30 seconds if this does not happen it could be debris stuck in the intake, or in the propeller. Please also check if the bag was installed properly. lastly it could be a simple spring on the flap. I hope this helps.steve

it sounds like you need a new salt chloronator. Green flow light shows you are getting flow through chloronator. Salt chloronators only last 3 - 5 years.

the salt water system connects directly in line with the pump, the water flow should be coming out of the pool, into the inlet connection of the pump, then from the outlet of the pump to the inlet of the salt water generator, and finally from the outlet of the salt water generator into the pool. I hope this helps you. By the way, I love my salt water system so far. A little trick I found out about this system is after running it a while, you may get a low salt alarm. Instead of immediately adding salt, check to see if there is calcium buildup on the cells on the salt water system first and, if there is, try cleaning them first. It cleared my alarms every time so far. the salt water system connects directly in line with the pump, the water flow should be coming out of the pool, into the inlet connection of the pump, then from the outlet of the pump to the inlet of the salt water generator, and finally from the outlet of the salt water generator into the pool.

Not to be insulting,but there is another way to tell it's on,your water will clear up. Depending on the size of the tank,(mine is in a 20gal.tall),it took 3 days to clear it up.

I have not come across that problem. It is possible that the tank to be charged again however if it is fully charged then I do not know why.

The salt generator needs to be cleaned. The stainless steel has salt crystals built up between it.

When I bought mine last year I had the same problem. Even level it didn't work. Called company and they sent me two little pieces of PVC pipe that were cut to fit over the places where the water tank nozzles are pushed up and are supposed to empty. Not explaining it well but basically if it won't work after being level, call the company and they can help.

My system shut off after a couple months of being installed as well (240v). I removed canister and electrodes appeared to have a lot of buildup, so I made a little brass brush on a handle that I could get inside and clean the elements. after doing this several times and rinsing (water came out rust colour), I replaced and it is working fine. Will wait and see how long this one lasts. I clamped it and was only pulling about 2-3 amps initially, but after a couple days it is now up to 10-11 amps per leg.

Mine did not run at first. It had the circle with the triangle and the water drop indicator. According to the manual the means the tank is full on the tank is not positioned correctly. We are using the gravity drain, but I did notice that the Styrofoam block was in a position where is could not "float". I freed up the block by bending the plastic a little and replaced the tank. Voila.

No! It is simply an on/off switch to the chlorine generator. If you twist the two wires together, the turbo cell stays on until "low salt" reading turns it off. If your turbo unit is being replaced yearly, I suspect scale buildup. Clean with HCL acid from Lowes in a plastic bucket per mfg instructions. Also recommend Salt Solutions in Tampa, Fl. For software upgrades and repair of your control board. Overnight FedEx last changeout for me $125. Sure beats $675 for a new board!

The flow switch has nothing to do with the salt sensor per se. It is a transducer that sends an electric pulse to the system when water moves through the lines. It is very important that the flow switch be positioned correctly to allow the switch to move and send a signal to the system. There is a very small arrow to indicate the correct position. It will not send a pulse to the system if it is even off position just slightly. There must be something really wrong with you system if you have to replace the salt sensor annually. Most likely your sensor is getting calcium deposits and just needs to be cleaned with muriatic acid solution. Be extremely careful mixing muriatic acid with water as it is very volatile. You should have directions for doing this in you salt generator manual or find it online. The Hayward system has a "timer" to flag you to check the salt sensor every so many hours of operation. You may be getting this indication and thinking you need to replace the salt sensor. If you think there is nothing wrong, you can push the diagnostic button for several seconds and it will reset the check indication. Your pool supplier should be able to check the sensor if you suspicion that it is faulty.
