RPM changes for Intellitouch Not Holding when using phone or computer

P,
Does not sound like something that ScreenLogic or the EasyTouch can do...
Are you using your PC or a phone to make changes?
Can you tell me, or show me, what you are doing? Pool vs. cleaner?? In general, all the electronics used to change "Pool" would be used to change "Cleaner" so on the surface it makes no sense, that one would work and the would not work..
Something else must be going on..
We need more info..
Thanks,
Jim R.

Pentair IC60 creates chlorine when first turned on and then flashes "inspect cell"

Well, that lasted for a day. The pool has 2ppm chlorine now, but the cell light is flashing green again. I took the unit out, flushed it with water, and reinstalled it. There was no scale buildup on the fins. The cell light went back to solid green for about 30 minutes and now it is flashing again. Easy Touch panel is still reporting salt at 4,350. The salt level light is solid green. I am attaching a pic of the sticker on the back of the unit.
When I hold down the "More" button for 5+ seconds, the lights all flash, it runs through its diagnostics, it shows 40% remaining useful life (i.e., the 20%, 40%, and 60% lights are lit green).
I am about to throw in the towel on this one and just order a new SWG; however, if anybody has any advice on what I can do to keep this going, I'll take the advice and give it a shot.

How to add large batches of CYA
Hey Folks !!! With a large pool, I need 4lbs of CYA to only raise it 15, and I don't think I have that many socks without holes in them. So I use a Tshirt. Plus, I like that it's doubled up for redundancy. *** It can also be scaled down with socks. So I measure out my dose and...

I think your pool is larger.
18x36 and 3.5 and 8 is likely 27,900.
A sun shelf that is 1 foot deep would be reducing the volume of the pool by 12 x 6 x 2.5, or 1400 gallons.
I think you are closer to 26,000 gallons.

The “bond beam” is the top of the pool structure, it can be raised (in 6” 
increments) or it can be at 0”.
Typically a reef step/shelf is excavated at 21” below the top of bond beam with 9” of shotcrete, 1” of plaster and 3” below top of tile, this should leave around 8” of water depth when finished.
Your calculations will leave 6’ of water (3” of exposed tile subtracted from the 9”) if it’s being measured from the top of the “bond beam”.
If it’s being said that there’s going to be 9” to finished water line then the measurement should be 13” from top of beam to top of shotcrete.

Can you send me a picture of this? I am not sure how I would tie that off. And why can't I use skimmer socks? I bought a 50 pack
So, I bought this chlorine this time around at a local pool store in CT that said it is made in Bristol, CT. It did not have a number stamped on it.
The dimensions of our pool are 18x36 with with a 12x6 sun shelf. Shallow end 3.5 deep. Deep end 8 feet. The diagram the PB provided said the gallons were 22,800.
Sounds good. Thanks.
I am not home, but I bought the same one you recommended from ACE. I bought thee bottles of that.
Sounds good
