Aqua Rite cell is bad

[fatlip]

I am having the exact same problems. I just installed a new pcb board last week and everything was fine until two days ago when the instant salt reading was 200 but now I get a 0 reading on my instant salt. I went through the re-calibration steps but to no prevail. I also threw the breaker in hopes of a reset, no go. My unit is 5 years old and the guy at the pool store today told me that units in the Houston area get 2-3 years of life due to the 15 hrs of work at 100%. But you see I don't trust those guys in pool stores, that's why I am here. I really can't get an answer from Goldline either other than call a tech, not in this economy when I am just as capable if not more. Any help would be great. I am thinking an inline chlorinator might be the remedy!

Just like the unit will not work with too little salt, the unit will also not work with too much, and it may or may not give you a salt reading. Don't buy anything till you drain and dilute the pool to the proper salinity level (verify at your pool store that does not use test strips), then try again.

Note: Make sure you are not in a high water table area Before you drain.
