Help, I recently took out the SWG cell and went thru the cleaning process as written per instruction. The SWG is about 4 month old. After re-inserting the cell, there was no power to the cell. So I checked the fuse and it was blown, went out and bought 4 new fuses, 250v 10amp from Radio Shack. However, upon replacement , the fuse was immediately blown. Any suggestion as to what is the problem.
Thank you in advance for you help.

Some obvious things need to be eliminated:
Connection is made correctly?
Nothing is inside the cell bridging across the plates?

If the unit is 4 months old, and you can't see anything that happened to it, call Pentair, and have a warranty station look at it.

I called Pentair Tech Support. They told me to call an electrician to measure the current across the power center. What a bunch of crock , please make note next time when you shop for equipment. This is the kind of service you get from Pentair.

They don't know if you are competent to perform such a test. That test is one you can get into trouble fast with. So they were just covering themselves. Agreed, they should have offered a warranty station. You did tell them it is less than a year, yes? I would call again, and suggest a warranty station come out for a visit.
