I'm having an issue with my Aquatek regulator. It's connected to my Apex and I have it setup to operate on/off based on the pH. It's been in service for a week and has been working great, but now it’s not shutting off. I unplugged the solenoid and it’s still running. I was finally able to get it to stop by continually toggling the outlet on/off. It’s plugged into the Apex outlet controlled by mechanical relays. The solenoid works best in this outlet because of its low power requirement. I disassembled and cleaned the solenoid per Aquatek’s instructions, but’s it is still not shutting off. There is no audible click from the solenoid. Has anyone else had an issue with Aquatek’s regulators? I’ve contacted Aquatek, but I’m not expecting much in terms of warranty. Although I’ve only used it for a week, I bought it last October. I’m wondering if I should replace the solenoid or go with another brand regulator entirely. Any feedback is appreciated.
