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...

I'll keep an eye on that. When power cycling (at main disconnect level) into full re-boot, does system still remember where it happened to be in its previous 3 hour rotation, OR should that force it into starting a new cycle from scratch? I guess I could set it to 100% for a little while and...

Welll fudge. Thought I was there. New cell and now new PCB. Got it installed Thursday and it ran fine all day. Producing chlorine with no error in either forward or reversing. While waiting on board, I had shocked the daylights out of pool while brushing furiously. Water *finally* back crystal...

Please tell me that's NOT the one you just put the new board on. Reads like you have multiple?

My new PCB is coming in tomorrow and I just thought about something. Does EVERYTHING have to be fully re-programmed when replacing that board? Stuff like filter schedule, cleaner schedule, LED light types, VFD pump speeds, blah, blah? I'm hoping those parameters are stored elsewhere, but I'll...

Board ordered & now time to attack my fishing pond. I mean swimming pool. I swear a good largemouth would probably do just fine if I threw him in there! Will have to order the FAS/DPD later this week. One of the other vacationing joys is evidently our credit card got hacked. Thankfully CC...

Have Taylor K-2005. Never bought or used LC. Always shock packets and 3" tabs. Headed to bed now. Drove all day long back from beach and completely wiped out. Son has first 2 games of weekend baseball tournament in the morning. In other words, I'm not ignoring but it will be tomorrow afternoon...

It's algae based which I've never had much trouble before. Scrubbed walls and bottom multiple times, deep cleaned cartridge filters and shocked several times. Also used heavy algaecide dose followed by clarifier 24 hours later. The algaecide has fastest noticeable impact and appears to be...

Pool was crystal blue when we left Saturday. Got home tonight to dark, dark green (again). SWG set at 90% and that's what it shows now. Still running fine except reversing error. Of course it rained heavily while we were gone and there's a few sticks and leaves that sat in pool. Too dark to...

Did repl board solve it? If you don't mind my asking, where did you buy & how much (feel free to PM)? I've poked around and it looks $200ish if I'm looking at correct part.

I see it now & today is "drive home" day (yuck). Exactly where on board is that little section? See exactly what you're talking about

Not forgetting my new TFP friends. Family beach vacation this week and I'm keeping my fingers crossed the fact that it makes chlorine in most modes will limp it by until I get home & can play some more. Can't imagine a couple weeks with no reversing could really hurt anything on the new cell...

Yeah. I had checked all fuses at the beginning but checked again to be safe. "Touched" the relay solder points with an iron, just in case of a hairline crack. All reassembled and booted back up now, along with switching back to correct DC cell wiring. Will continue to keep eye, but I'm guessing...
