Control Boards & Diagnostics

Resolving blank screens, blown fuses, and lightning surge damage.

The "Brain" of Your Chlorinator

The control center (the box mounted on your wall) is responsible for converting 240V AC power from your house into low-voltage DC power for your salt cell. Because it is highly sensitive to electrical fluctuations, Florida lightning storms and power surges are its worst enemy.

Blank Screens & Dead Boards

If your screen is entirely blank and no lights are on, we first test the incoming voltage and internal fuses. If power is reaching the board but nothing is happening, the PCB has shorted out and must be replaced.

Melted Components

A common failure point on older Hayward/Goldline boards is the black, quarter-sized thermistor (current limiter). When this cracks or melts, it breaks the circuit. You'll often see a "No Cell Power" error or physically see burn marks on the green board.

Recalibration & Setup

Installing a new board isn't just plug-and-play. The new PCB must be configured to match your specific cell size (e.g., T-15 vs T-9), pool volume, and integrated with any existing smart automation systems. We handle the entire technical setup.
