Hi there,
We purchased a house with a pool and we've just opened it up for the season. Everything went fine except for the salt cell - it's a Pentair Intellichlor, and we have the 'Salt Level' lights blinking between 'Good' and 'Low', and the 'Flow' light as a solid red. Our pool guy said we needed to add salt - we tested the water and it indicated we had about 1600 ppm. Store told us to add 40kg of salt, which we did. It is still blinking showing a solid red on the 'Flow' light - the store said it should take about 36-48 hours for the system to register the salt we added. Does this make sense? Is there something we're missing? Our pool guy has suggested that if the system doesn't right itself, it could also mean the unit needs replacing.
Thanks in advance for any help!
