The 'Inlet/Drain' light blinks 4 times, then stays on for a few seconds. There is no voltage going to the double inlet solenoids up at the water tap. The float switch that hangs under everything seems to be OK. The water level pressure switch seems to be OK. Where else should I be looking?

Thanks Bernii. I tracked the problem down to a few burnt components on the circuit board. Certainly a micro switch that powered the inlet valve, and a capacitor next to it. The board itself was very expensive to replace (over $600). I tried replacing the components (had to borrow a switch from the end of the board that used to control the salt thing) and repair a few tracks. I now have it sending about 28 volts to the inlet solenoids, but no action. Question is, do the solenoids require 240 volts, and I hav'nt succeeded in repairing the board, or is the voltage right, and the problem likely to be faulty solenoids?

Check the connections to the solenoids for burn marks caused by a leak.
The solenoids won't get power if the overflow pressure switch is switched as they are wired in series.
Also the flow meter board may be faulty.
Does the drain pump continuously run ?
