I'm not sure. So far, that's been the only drawback I've had with the "inexpensive" cell. I do like the built in DC cord as it eliminates a connection that can go bad over time, but it does make it impossible to read cell voltages. I thought that would be as simple as unplugging the cell and...

I had to order an amp clamp that's scheduled to get here Friday. Not sure how to check voltage on aftermarket as DC cord is hardwired into cell body with no exposed terminals. Can I check voltage by unplugging cell and seeing what comes out of the 2 wire connection (from panel) where it ties...

When reading all their fine print, it's a pro-rate deal. First year, full replace. Second year, purchase new at 30% of retail price (70% off). Third year 50% retail. Fourth and fifth year 70% retail price. Warning, though. The model 1400 Platinum I bought, for example, is shown right now on...

Really hard to summarize as there was so much testing and component changing over a long period. But it's almost like all previous steps just went out the window. Back to square 1 with original problem of error 123 and not knowing if it was cell or board except this time both are brand new...

I am just about ready to throw something through a wall. After about 2 weeks of perfect operation with new salt cell and new control board . . . the dreaded 123 error rears up, this time in both cell directions. ARRRRRRGGGGGHHH. Which takes me all the way back to original post title - - is...

I joined! Wanted to do gold but had to stick at silver due to recent job loss coupled with all the $$ I've had to spend getting the pool fixed. Maybe someday budgets will pull back in line & I can come back & up to gold. Much appreciated.

Oh yeah. I double and triple checked color order on all the connectors throughout whole system while I was doing re-terminations due to all the wire nicks. Seeing red/black/yellow/green spots in my eyes!!

Well, after much gnashing of teeth, not to mention MUCH patience / assistance from new friends at TFP, I'm *finally* back to a crystal blue pool with (mostly) operational PLC1400. Upon inspection of various terminal block wires (not just the one in my pic above), it appears original installer...

You may (hopefully!!) be onto something. Here is pic of new installed board but also attaching pic of the connector. Nothing appears to be touching or shorting, but conductor jackets have rotted in a couple places exposing bare wire when viewed up close. System powering back up now without...

I'll check that. I'm assuming I need to kill at breaker first? Don't think it will hurt anything to just unplug, but it probably needs to re-boot as part of process you're suggesting.

Ignore the extra data point. Must've been an overly long 0 hold. Now it's back to 0 & 65 jumps again

Remote isn't even turned on (and I still have older, basic version; not iAquaLink). Or are you talking about disconnecting the little receiver module with antenna? One more data point. Went out to check at 500 at the 1 hour after re-boot mark. Now screen shows solid zero not changing at all and...

I don't have YouTube. It's just an mp4 video, but I completely understand the hesitancy to download. All you'd see is the readout screen jumping between 0% and 65% a bunch of times across a 2 minute time period. That's why I took the time to type a summary log, just in case!

This gets weirder & weirder the more I watch it. Still have BAD suspicion something's wrong. Did full breaker re-boot at 4:00 pm with plans to spot check screen every 15 minutes or so for a couple hours & keep log. TFP interface evidently won't allow video files so I made attached zip after...
