No lights on, but the display works (Hayward salt system)
The screen shows numbers, but no lights are on, or the lights turn off? Look no further: the board needs a repair. That’s the good news, because it costs much less than a cell.
Applies to: Aqua Rite / AquaRite, Aqua Trol / AquaTrol, Swim Pure, Aqua Rite PRO (the rectangular model), Pro Logic, Aqua Logic, OmniLogic and OmniPL.
What is normal and what isn’t
| Light | Normal | Not normal |
|---|---|---|
| Power | Always on | Off while the display works: the board needs a repair |
| Generating | Off when the switch is on OFF and during normal pauses of the cycle | Never turns on in AUTO, while the pump runs and there is no error |
| All | – | Screen on but no lights: the board needs a repair |
Before you send us the board
- Check that the switch is on AUTO and that the pump is running: the system only produces while the pump runs.
- If nothing lights up at all (no screen, no lights), see Nothing lights up instead: it’s often the outlet.
- Not sure? The troubleshooting guide asks you the right questions.
