Just wanted some opinions on what appears to be a failing T-9 cell since this is the first salt cell I will have to replace.
Built pool in March of 2016 - T-9 is the original salt cell. No issues since 2016. Recently got a “Chlor Too Low Salt” warning. Salt read low on the OmniLogic board and app. Added salt, still had warning. Took water to the place I never go for readings (Pinch A Penny) who said salt reading was at 3400. Now I have a Taylor salt test kit arriving today BTW so I can test salt too.
Been a few days but have been monitoring whether I was generating chlorine and seemed to be doing so. But, in the last two days my chlorine has really dropped. Salt cell sensor says 2100 but I am still at 3350 salt when tested. Started reading about how to tell from the diagnostics when salt is and is not being generated because I’d see a cell current of zero sometimes (but from what I understand that is expected if you have the chlorinated set, for examole, like I do at 40%).
So, I upped the chlorination to 100% (which should keep the cell from reading zero?) and here are the numbers and the cell current is no longer reading zero which I believe means it is generating chlorine but it sounds like that current would normally be higher than in the 3’s.
Given it is a 7 year old cell it’s easy to assume it has lived it’s life. Just a little thrown off as to why it is not just reading zero all the time unless it is just on life support at this point but wanted the thoughts of those who have gone threw T-9’s since this is the first time I may/will have to replace it.
