Good Afternoon all,
I have read a couple of other threads regarding this similar issue. I believe I need to replace my T-5 cell. But, I'd like some confirmation from the guru's here before going down that financial rabbit hole
I had my SWG installed back in June 2018, so the cell is coming up on 5 years old. I have NOT had my SWG panel on a timer. It has power 24 hours a day, and with the flow switch, only "generates" when there is flow. However, since I changed my pump and filter a few months back, I have had steady Inspect Cell and Check Salt lights. I noticed that when the pump was not running, the No Flow light never came on, so I have since replaced it as well. When I do a reset with the diagnostics button, everything runs normal for the duration of the pump cycle. Here are my current readings and results as of today. Additionally,
I did not notice any scale buildup on the fins of the cell when I checked during installation of the new pump and filter.
Aquarite w/ T15
Panel S/N: 3A17306-106037
