No LED lights on my AQR100. Manual states at least one should always be on. contacted supplier who says "no light is not a problem", which advise is correct. water is circulating, pool temp is just below 70.

If no LED lights are on your Hayward AQR100, possible reasons include:

1. No power is reaching the unit.
2. The power supply is faulty.
3. The PCB (GLXAQR100PCB) may be damaged and needs replacement.

Check that the unit is connected to a working power source. If power is confirmed and LEDs remain off, replace the PCB.
