Hello, I have an ECOMATIC ESC 36 swg. Recently, I have been getting random flow errors. After the unit initializes the red 'FLOW' LED lights and the generator is disabled. I have had luck with cycling power and occasionally it will boot and work great all day. Other times it starts out fine then cuts out (FLOW LED)
Here is what I know-
- I am certain that there are no water leaks in my system, I can see the gas sensor on the cell it fully immersed at all times.
- The salt level is ~4800ppm
- Salt cell is clean, and produces huge amounts of sanitizer when it actually turns on (The cell is less than 2 years old)
- Water temp is 74 deg
- All electrical connections between controller and cell are tight and clean.
I have disassembled the control unit looking for anything obvious like loose connections or burnt components on the PCB. No luck.
Since the gas sensor lead is located pretty close to one of the cell leads I presume it is looking for continuity between the two. I continuity checked the leads from the controller and they are good, less than 0.1Ω end to end.
Anyone know what the gas signal should look like with a meter or o-scope? Or any idea which components to look at on the PCB? I have called and emailed the ECOMATIC help line multiple times and never got a human on the other line or an email response.
Thanks for any help,
