“PCB” shown on your Aqua Rite display: what to do?

When the display shows “PCB”, the problem is the electronic board of your system (PCB means printed circuit board). At first, the message is often intermittent: it comes and goes. We can repair your board.

Applies to: Hayward Aqua Rite / AquaRite, Aqua Trol / AquaTrol and Swim Pure.

What to do

• Note when the message shows up (when the pump starts, in hot weather, at random). It helps us with the diagnosis.
• Don’t replace the cell: a new cell doesn’t fix a PCB message.
• Remove the board and send it to us. Watch the video to remove the board.
