No salt lights on IC40

I‘ve got a 3 or 4 year old IC 40. Cell light is green, flow light is green. My salt is good (about 3600 - tested by me). But neither of the salt lights are on. Very puzzling.

I don’t need the thing to tell me how my salt is - I can test it just fine, but I do need it to make chlorine! If the flow and cell lights are green - I am assuming that it is making chlorine? I am correct?

Of course, I could just wait a day or two and retest my CL levels and see if they went up...

Still puzzling as to why no lights.

That is odd. They may flash or be red. But no lights at all?

Typically if the Cell light is green, then the cell works. If it flashes, that means it has issues.

Cycle the power on the SWCG and see if the Salt lights flash on and off. That is the period the unit is measuring the salinity of the water.

G,

Just guessing, but it sounds like the LED failed... The cell should still be working if that is true.

I would not do anything as long as the cell light is on..

Thanks,

Jim R.

When I started it up - the low salt flashed for a short while (which it often does as water flows) then it goes off. So it makes sense that the good salt light LED has burned out. I'll check the CL tomorrow. If its producing then I am ok with that.
