Aquarite displaying 'pcb' in display

[waste]

mike, have you used the diagnostic button? push #5 should show you instant salinity - the unit has to be generating for a number to show. If you get ~ -3000 on the instant you can slave that number to the main display by turning the switch to SUPER and back to AUTO.

when you push the little black "diagnostic" button next to the display - it will show you (by push #):
1. Water temp
2. Cell voltage
3. Cell current
4. Desired % output
5. Instant salinity (with a "-" sign) (salt ppm)
6. Which unit you have
7. Which software revision yours has.

The units are supposed (!) to show 2600 as default - but I've seen some that show 1600 (the same reading you're getting... hmmm?). Try the diagnostic tonight, it may save you a $ervice call - we know that something happened to the computer, this may be a little one time side effect (another sign that the 1600 isn't a 'true' reading is that you say that the unit 'appears to be working'- if the unit actually thought that the salt was 1600, the low salt light would be on and the unit wouldn't generate)

I'll try to find that Taylor kit for salt.. sounds like a good one to have if you have a SWG.

I'll also try the diag button to see what's what.

Thanks for all the info and help!

Well, the Aquarite seems to be feeling much better.
When I got home this afternoon, I checked the system and the readout was 2800 ppm, which is close to what I assumed it would be.

The diagnostic button revealed the instant salinity to be 2900, pretty close.

I checked Chlorine levels and I was at about 4 to 5 ppm, so I'm at least generating CL.

I checked CYA and I'm out, so I need to up the CYA, bump up the CL and hopefully I'll be set for the season.

Calling the service co tomorrow and canceling the service call, at least until it fails again.

Thanks for all the help!

Mike, glad to hear things have sorted themselves out without a $ervice call! If you have any more problems, ask us and we'll do what we can for you!

Yup. Things look much better. Still running this morning. Holding at 2800 ppm.

Called the service co and canceled the call.

Thanks for all the advice!
