Edge 40 " check Cell light"

[markayash]

Its only about 3 1/2 years old and the Edge only has lights.
Its still making chlorine and working.

Salt is good ( Taylor 1766 shows 3200 ) and no low salt light
I did a 25% acid soak and it did bubble some but didn't help.

Anybody else ran into this issue?
I did email discount salt but also wanted to ask here also.

If salt is good and it is making chlorine I would ignore the Idiot Light just like you do in a car.

Lol my dad put tape over his bad tire sensor light

Yea good idea

Now it shows low salt but it’s at 3400.
Good news if after being gone for 2 weeks my FC is at 12 so it’s working.

How does it calculate salt? Resistance?

I did notice once before if I set it at the Lowest setting it would complain about salt. The edge actually lowers power vs cycling in and off and at 1/8th it’s only drawing around 20 watts.

I am going to kick it up to 50% and use the timer ( pump runs 24/7 ) to turn it off at night and see if plays nice again. Maybe it’s too low to get a true reading?

I would check the cell for any scale, especially scale that is bridging between two plates. When I get scale (high TA fill water and laziness), cell maintenance and low salt are first symptoms before the SWCG shuts down. 15-20 minutes scraping the scale off manually and it’s back in action.

Thanks, I did check and no buildup but did do a mild acid washing to clean the plates and did get some bubbling.

If not will just leave it alone.

I like the fact the edge runs 24/7 and doesn’t cycle but don’t like the idiot lights and no information

Discount salt did reply and said it could be a bad cell. That’s my hunch also so we will see if the prorated warranty helps at all.

But I love having a salt pool and will buy one when it dies

Basically said if it’s producing chlorine they won’t replace it but if the light comes on again send it in in for testing.

Taking Allen’s advice and leaving it alone
