At this point I am now reading 0 salt on my Easy Touch and the cell still has a low flow issue. Any thoughts? New cell or bigger problems like bad power supply or motherboard. It's been working alright for the last several days.

So did you replace the ic 40. I have no issue buying a new one if it's bad. To be honest I'm not certain it's bad like you said there is no true way to diagnose the cell. Mine went red a few times today but is still producing 95 percent of the day. I'm going to run it till it goes dark. Pentair...

No surges. I tested the cell with a millimeter when the flow light was on and it was holding at 24 volts.

Nothing changes. Turns on at 9 am and shuts off at 9 pm. No water features or jacuzzi. Runs all day perfectly and towards early evening it goes red and then back to green. I'm a little anal so I'm checking constantly between the easy touch in the house and the panel itself. I cant explain it...

Little update. Cell has malfunctioned once a day in the last couple days. Usually around dinner time the low flow light comes on for a short period of time and then goes back to green. According to my Taylor kit chlorine levels are maintaining. Hope to get to October and will have a new one on...

I agree with you one hundred percent. Tommorow will prove that wrong I'm sure. I teach engineering to high school students for a living and I laughed at his recommendation but dropped a bag of salt in anyways. We will see what the morning brings. 3 different tech representatives and all had...

I called pentair several times today and last week. He said last ditch effort take your salt level from 3300 to 3600. I did so this afternoon and so far for the several hours it's been producing without a problem. I have always had my level around the 3300 to 3400 range. Almost like the low salt...

Thanks for the info. I will retry with new connectors. Funny that the new switch comes already stripped. This will be my last try before I purchase a new cell or eliminate it entirety. The ph rise is some what of an annoyance. Thank you

The pump is running at 2400 rpm. I tested the switch at 3400 as well and still the red light is intermittent throughout the day. I suspect a bad cell at this point but will attempt to check voltage going to the cell first to make sure it's in the 24 volt range. I did acid wash the cell due to...

I have been having an issue with my Pentair ic 40 salt cell. The flow light turns red periodically throughout the day. Recently swapped out the flow switch and it still malfunctions. This happens several times a day. Cartridge filters have been cleaned and cell acid washed. Cell has been run...

Should I lower the Cya by doing a drain or just crank the swg to 100 percent for 15 hours.

Looks like it's doing what it's supposed to be doing. Someone here told me in a previous forum to hold my number at 5ppm. Does that seem correct?

Taylor 2006. It's been pretty steady at 3.6 to 4. Regardless of what percentage I pit it at. I tested early this morning and it was in that range. I feel like I should slam just to take that out of the equation. I've been testing multiple times a day. - - - Updated - - - 12 hours daily

Taylor 2006

Just reinstalled my pentair ic40 and am wondering if I might have a bad cell. Brought the chlorine level up to 4ppm and turned the system on. According to my readings my FC needs to 5ppm with a cya level of 80. I started at 50 percent and have gradually increased now up to 80 percent...

Just put salt back into the pool last week. I have been running Bioguard Smart Sticks since early April with not a ton of acid demand. The sticks have a low Ph. The quartz finish is new from last August.

About 2 days

Just added salt back into my 1 year old quartz finish pool. Just wondering best way to slow the ph drift down a bit. I know my alkalinity is still a bit high but I know the addition of the acid will bring it down over time. FC 3.6 PH 7.5 TA 100 CH 300 CYA 80 tested with my Taylor 2006 and...

Mine never stabilized, constant battle between PH and Alkalinity but I also feel I had some finish problems with the existing marcite. I was buying acid by the case and probably using a gallon and a half a week with the salt generator. At this point I test daily and typically add nothing but...

Any thoughts on Salt Generation and Ph increase? Here is my story: I have had a swimming pool for the last 10 years. Three years ago we had decided to put an in ground pool in to replace our aging above ground. We had decided to go with a gunite pool with a marcite finish. After the...

Salt level is 3350 Pentair recommends 3400 for their equipment. How are you calculating CSI. Is that the pool calculator

Here are the numbers from yesterday. I believe the Calcium hardness is 280 from the weekend Ph 7.6 Ta 80 Fc 5 CYA 50

No algaecides, I feel like it is scale from the increase in Ph. The pool being so new when it was closed had a very high demand for acid. I called the pool builder and told them about the high Ph and they told me to not worry about it because of cold temperatures would effect it. When they...

We opened our pool at the end of April to be surprised with some yellow/brown stains in the deep end. The pool is a marcite finish and is new as of last year. We had the pool professionally closed in October of last year by the company that constructed our pool. They subcontract the pool...

I have hung up the towel on any local pool store trying to sell me their products. Had a few issues with climbing ph levels with new marcite. Recently adjusted to your recommendations and purchased a Taylor 2006 test kit and can finally enjoy my pool.

Thank you ordering a kit tomorrow.

At this point I am using test strips. I know stupid. Pool is not up an running yet probably not for a month and I have been shopping for a real test kit for this season. We closed the new pool shortly after it was built. I will pick up a real test kit this week. It used a large amount of acid...

We had a new gunite pool built last August to replace our worn above ground. We had a mild winter and I continued to check levels throughout, nervous about the marcite finish and the need to add acid. Before the snow came I added acid and circulated with a small sump pump. Now that the weather...
