BLUE WORKS Printed Circuit Board+Display Board

This is a perfect replacement if you need a new circuit board. I recently replaced all my equipment including the board, and a generic version like this will cost less than half of the OEM price and work just as well. It will NOT interface with the control panel so if you need to control the chlorination via the Aqualink panel you will need the OEM product. If you salt system is not producing chlorine, before spending the money on a replacement board, check the following - 1) your salt cell - if old than 3-4 years - may be the culprit. Check your salt level is correct, the pool temp is correct, and clean your cell. If you have an inspect cell light on continuously after these steps it is likely your cell. I have had this system 20 years and generally have to replace the salt cell every 4 years or so, despite regular cleaning. 2) Check the flow switch. If no flow is displayed, this could be the problem and is an inexpensive part ($20-25) worth trying. 3) The first time my board went bad it was due to a bad thermistor - there are many videos on youtube explaining this cheap fix and it worked for me the first time. 4) If you know how to use a multimeter, InyoPools.com has a great troubleshooting video that would be worth following to check proper voltages before spending money on a new circuit board.

This unit is more expensive than other similar models from other manufacturers. I chose this one because it had several hundred reviews. Anyway, it was easy to install. I followed a YouTube video for installation instructions. It comes with 110-220 jumpers. I kept the Hayward plastic attachment nubs and used them with this board. I had to jiggle the board slightly from side to side so that face cover would fit over the board. It has been functioning for a couple of weeks and so far so good. The units reading are within +|- 100PPM of local pool place water testing.

This does not work! Do not buy it. I installed it exactly by the step by step instruction booklet. Then I had an electrician double check my installation. The unit lights up and looks like it’s working, but after a week, no chlorine in pool. Gets super hot and smells like burning metal. I will be returning it.

This thing works much better than I had expected....as I was definitely a bit leery purchasing an aftermarket unit. The form, fit, and function is definitely there....but just know...it does have some differences in the way the user interacts with the unit. Once you figure it out....it is great, but it isn't always as intuitive as my old unit. That said....for the money, this is definitely something you should consider...I am glad I did.

The board was easy to install and fixed my problem. This is the second one I have used as the last one was three years old when it failed. The reason for the failure was the cell and not the board. The cell failed and melted the connection from heat on the cell plug in to the board. I will buy again when needed.

Took 2-3 days to trouble shoot the problem. Without instructions, the installation was time consuming. installing it wasn't hard but the calibration and setup took a while even with customer support being they were outsourced to a different country and was hard to understand them. Still not sure what my salt reading is. They told me the 3.2 I was viewing was equivalent to 3200 salt level, but it hasn't changed but to 3.1 and back to 3.2 in a month. I can't see the salt level not decreasing as time goes on. The instructions they told me to change it to the 3200 didn't work. I pretty much had to figure things on my own for troubleshooting. The only reason I gave them a 3 was because they were good about calling back and trying to fix the issues even though their advice didn't always work.

Upon installing the until, I encountered a problem with only the power light and flow light (steady not blinking) lighting up. I called the tech support number received through an answered question. Dave from tech support helped me run a test and resolve the problem in ten minutes! We even got disconnected, and Dave called me back! I really appreciate the help and great customer service. Right now, the product appears to be working great!

The board was very easy to install and my one question to tech support about changing one of the settings was answered very quickly.
