Pool guy retired and I need help! First posting and I apologize for the length but I had to make sure there really was a problem with the equipment and not with me.
The cell quit generating plus it was 7 years old.
I replaced the cell, rebooted the control box and calibrated the cell and made sure it was working correctly.
6/21/14 Ran the pump for 5 hours (4a till 9a - our normal filtering/generating time for 7 years):
Reading 3400
Temperature 83 degrees
Cell voltage 25.2
Cell current 7.5
Desired output 65%
Instant salinity -3900
Product name AL-0
Software revision 1.40
Thought everything was well in hand!
6/22/14 End of the next 5 hour cycle (4a -9a):
Reading 1900
Temp 83 degrees
Cell voltage 32.8
Cell current 0
Desired output 65%
Instant salinity -0
Product name AL-0
Software revision 1.40
Turned the pump back on for additional time but the low reading would not allow generation.
Fiddled with the on/off/super chlorinate switch and the reading jumped to 2900 and
all the lights except the on and generating went off.
End of this 5 hour cycle (9a – 2p):
HTH Salt strip 3240
Reading 3300
Temp 84 degrees
Cell voltage 25.4
Cell current 7.5
Desired output 80%
Instant salinity -3700
Product name AL-0
Software revision 1.40
6/23/14 End of the next 5 hour cycle (4a -9a):
Reading 2100
Temp degrees 84
Cell voltage 32.5
Cell current 0
Desired output 79%
Instant salinity - 0
Product name AL-0
Software revision 1.40
Turned control box off then back on – still reading 2100.
Cycled thru the settings and back to primary reading – now 2900:
Reading 2900
Temp degrees 82
Cell voltage 25.3
Cell current 7.5
Desired output 82%
Instant salinity -3700
Product name AL-0
Software revision 1.40
Pool is fine, crystal clear and no apparent issues. What should I look at?
