    AutoPilot flaky tri sensor cable

    Hi folks! I have an AutoPilot "Pool Pilot Digital" with an SC-60 cell that's been in service since 2009. In general, it works great. However, pretty much since day 1, I've had intermittent issues with the tri-sensor cable. It will work flawlessly for weeks on end, then all of a sudden, I'll...

I did a little more troubleshooting and I think I narrowed it down to the little round twist-lock connector that connects the cable to the tri-sensor. After pulling it out and...
