I own a saltwater pool (hayward aqua rite T-cell15) and bought a new salt cell last year. The salt level reads 3200 for a 30,000 gallon pool. For the past few years, I have been adding 1-2 gallons of liquid shock each week because my pool does not hold free chlorine. I had my water tested at a local pool store and they told me I should be adding 3 gallons of liquid shock each week. Last week, I added 3 tubs of granulated stabilizer to see if that would help hold chlorine and by the end of the week, low levels of stabilizer. Another local store told me my salt generator is not working and needs replaced. If the generator is not working, does the cell still produce salt? I replaced the screen last year as I was unable to read it and the lights were flickering. Since then, I can read the screen and the lights do not flicker. Is the circuit board bad even though everything seems to be working properly other than I cannot hold free chlorine? Or is it the transformer causing the issue? Is their a way to test to see which is one (or both) is causing the malfunction? Water is clear and pH, alkalinity are good. Last week, I also added 4 gallons of liquid shock. By morning, I saw white powder on the bottom which I assumed was dead algae. I vacuumed on waste. By next morning, brown looking dirt/dust back in the same spots. I can't seem to keep the pool bottom clean, could be from construction dust floating or what else is causing dirt/dust on the bottom 12 hours after vacuuming?

Hi, I did all the troubleshooting to solve the CHECK CELL error. I have tested the cell and it makes bubbles until the system trips. Then the SuperGen goes green, but after a while, it shuts off and there is not much chlorine generated, almost nothing. So the cell works intermittently with the system, what should be done?

I'm on a Hayward Omni logic system, T15 cell...have you ever encountered the problem where it never chlorinates, even when set to 100%? Mine just says on, has an average salt reading but never instant salt and zero amps. This is my 4th cell in less than a year post build. 😔

I've heard many things about the OmniLogic, but few have been good. They are notoriously finicky pieces of machinery. I'd either have a troubleshoot with a Hayward Technician directly or buy a new system. I say the latter because even if you figure out the cell problem, there are going to be other gremlins that pop up. They will be just as annoying and confusing as they are expensive.

It’s Hayward aqua plus I replaced the T cell about a year ago with a excel pool brand( I couldn’t find heyword brand available) What’s funny is I just walked out to look at the pool message board and the “ chlorinator off “ message is gone Now it says ( salt 2800 ppm”) Strange I think my circuit board is going out

My Hayward system has the power light on but not the generator light. No other lights are on. What should I do? Already tested the salt cell itself and they told me it’s still working. I even cleaned it. Reply

I have put it to 100% and still no Generating light. I can put to Super Chlorinate and it appears to work but that only works for 24 hours and then I have to move it to Super Chlorinate again.

I’m having the exact same issue. Have already added salt after testing, cleaned salt cell with the water acid mixture, and have cleaned filter for flow. We have low stabilizer but we have zero chlorine basically so I hope that’s it’s.

Have you had your phosphate levels tested? If not, have them tested! Phosphate are very little talked about in the pool world they have so much to do with chlorine retention and algae issues

Does the generator light stay off if you set the output to 100%? If you currently have it set to 50%, the cell will run for 50% of a set period of time. If you were monitoring the control during that 50% off cycle, then it may appear the system isn't working, even though it is.

First, have you added enough salt? Are there any alerts or faults flashing on the control? If there are no faults, you aren't running the pump long enough, or your output percentage isn't high enough. I would also make sure the other water chemistry is in check.

There is likely another issue if you have a brand new system and still have no chlorine. Is the pool water clear or is it green? What is the stabilizer level?

He may be correct. The salt system won't produce chlorine if the salt level is too high. I'd get some test strips and use those to always check against the salt level on the machine. Add salt based on the strip reading and not the control panel.
