My aqua rite generator is showing a reading of 2000ppm while pool store reading is 3500. I have cleaned the cell 2x. The cell was replaced 1 year ago and the large circuit board was replaced at the same time. The display board was not replaced. The "low salt" light is on and there is no chlorine generation. Any ideas?

HI @JohnLP
After pressing diagnostics, you should get to the following:
- 1. Pool temperature (xx degrees Fahrenheit or Celsius)
- 2. Cell voltage (xx.x volts)
- 3. Cell current (x.xx amps)
- 4. Desired Output % ("0P" -- "100P" depending on knob position or input from remote pool automation controller)
- 5. Instant salinity ( -xxxx ppm or -x.xx grams/Liter)
- 6. Product name sent to the pool automation control display ("AL-0" which signifies "Aqua Rite")
- 7. Software revision level (r1.xx)
- 8. Chlorinator cell type (t-3, t-5, t-9, t-15)
You want to make sure that the correct cell size is showing and that the cell amps are within range.
- T-15 Amp Range: 3.1 – 8.0 amps
- T- 9 Amp Range: 2.3 – 6.7 amps
- T-5 Amp Range: 1.9 – 5.7 amps
- T-3 Amp Range: 1.3 – 4.5 amps
Here is the AquaRite Troubleshooting Guide which goes into this further. Here is a Step By Step Guide & Video on How to Recalibrate your AquaRite Salt Levels which you may find helpful.

Hold the phone guys. I followed the instructions to set cell type and found it was wrong cell type (how this changed is not clear). Then did recalibration. I seem to be on the right path now.
Thanks. Angst relieved.

That's awesome, I think you should be set.
