This happened to me last year. Turns out the wire to the pump alarm was shorting out and that was it

I have a Hayward sand hopper filter with a t9 salt cell and aquarite swg. I have a tech coming out next week hopefully to look at the motherboard and see if it’s bad. According to 2 different local companies they only last like 5-6 years. Which seems incredibly stupid for something that expensive

I’m at my wits end with my pool. In ground saltwater. At the end of last summer my salt level started reading low on the motherboard but when tested at the pool store it was normal. Tried resetting the cell didn’t work. Took the cell into the store and had it tested and it worked fine. Pool was staying clear so just let it ride until shutting it down.
Fast forward to this spring. Started getting it vacuumed and adding chemicals and salt and the reading was still low. Had the pool tech come out and look at the system. Ran some test different from the in store test that said the cell was the problem and that it needed to be replaced. I Replaced the cell with an off brand which is supposed to work fine and it worked great for a couple weeks and the pool started clearing up.
In the last few days the reading has started to be low again and not change when adding salt and my water has plateaud and not clearing up no matter what I do. I have flocked it twice, added phosphate remover, clarifier, shocked the crap out of it. Nothing clears up the water.
Test the water again at the pool store today and salt level is fine even though my board reads low. Now they are saying they don’t know what the problem is but it could be the off brand cell.
Does anyone work on pools or have any thoughts? I’m about ready to burn my house down because it has to be built on a Native American burial ground. Lived here 4 years with no issues, in the last month our 4 year old washer went out completely and had to be replaced, our master bath shower is now leaking as of yesterday, and the pool is a nightmare.

Update… I have the switches working. Turns out the common wire and one of the travelers were swapped. I am still getting a high resistance reading though on one of the wires. Should I be worried? And how do the switches work for 5 years with the wires crossed and then stop working? That makes 0 sense to me

Ok they are for sure 3 way. So now I’m back to square one

Well I just connected the wires back exactly like they were. So I would assume that isn’t the problem since they have worked the last 5 years.

Yes I know only 20 years late. But I was a kid when it came out. Always heard about it and saw commercials but just now watching it on Netflix. I am only a few episodes in but it looks good. I never knew the whole “sci-fi” angle of whatever is in the jungle. I just always assumed it was just a show with people lost on a deserted island trying to survive

When they flashed that stat up on the bottom line it pissed me off so bad cause I just knew that was a bad omen

Bump

Gonna need tahaad to have his floaters on today and Denver to hit those elbow jumpers and we will be fine. If Dylan and johni can tire their big guy out that will do a lot
