Problems with my AquaRite SWCG within an hour after start-up. I may need to call GoldLine but have to wait until Monday. In the meantime, if anyone can shed any light on this, I sure would appreciate getting this up and running this weekend.

I had a salt reading of 2600 (Ben's test) this AM, so added 80# more which should get me in the recommended range. It all dissolved through my leaf net and I also ran my pump for most of yesterday and today to ensure adequate mixing.

Generator had power, but was in the "off" position until about an hour ago. Display read 1400 prior to startup.

I turned the unit on and within minutes, the display had changed to 2600. I set the dial to 50% output as suggested in the manual. The green light was on solid indicating chlorine generation. So far, so good.

Just now, less than an hour after I started up the unit, I went out and the display reads, "Hot."

"Generating" LED is flashing. "Check salt" LED is flashing. "Inspect cell" LED is flashing.

Diagnostics indicate my pool temperature is 227 degrees!!! Cell voltage is 29.8. Cell current is 0. Desired output is 54 P ??? Instant salinity is 0. My software is rl.40, if that helps.

I've turned the unit off and will chlorinate manually until I can get this resolved. I'm hoping this can be corrected easily???

If it makes any difference, my electrician, not associated with the PB, asked me if this was a new control unit when he wired it in as it seemed kind of banged up (no screws holding on faceplate, leftover tape on inside door where something had been attached, etc.). With everything else, I forgot to ask my PB about that.

Actual temperature of pool water is 90, air temp is 105 and control unit and cell are in sun right now. Control unit is in shade most of the day, cell in sun most of the day.

Any thoughts?
