I recently purchased a home with a 12K gallon pool that has the Hayward Swimpure Extreme Controller (SWP925) and T-9 salt cell. Back in December, the controller board light indicators started reading Green-Power, Amber-Inspect Cell and Red-Check Salt. After doing some basic research and troubleshooting, I decided to replace the T-9 salt cell with one I found on Amazon “Autoverse Pool Salt Cell Chlorinator Generator Replacement Part Fit for Hayward Turbo Cell T-9 T Cell T9”. It worked for about a month and then this weekend right back to the same thing. I cleaned the salt cell with muriatic acid, reinstalled it and no joy. I’m going to take the salt cell to a Pinch a Penny and have them test it to see if that is the issue, I highly doubt it. My questions are as follows:
- Can I test the Hayward Swimpure Extreme Controller myself to see if I can repair it? If Yes, can you please provide me a link or directions on how I would accomplish that.
- If I have to replace the Hayward Swimpure Extreme Controller, what would you recommend I replace it with?
- Finally, if it turns out that it’s the salt cell because it’s a cheap knock off, besides Hayward what other salt cell can I use with this Hayward Swimpure Extreme controller? Much gratitude in advance for any and all answers!
