Hey all.... I could use some next steps advice to try and isolate problem Im currently having on my IC20 SWG
so my question is what does the Low Salt light red mean in diagnostics mode? Is it actually indicating low salt or something else? If so, why wouldnt it display Low Salt in regular operational mode? In regular operation mode, the Salt light is Green indicating good and my easy touch is reporting 3700ppm which should be sufficient. So my thinking is either it is trying to report a different problem or it just isnt accurately reading the correct salt level?.....or could it just need to be replaced?
Any ideas of what it could be or what else I could try before actually replacing the cell
thanks
- Im currently just ending my 5th swim season with my IC20 SWG in Northern NJ and my vinyl lined pool size is approx 7500 to 8,000 gallons
- Im fanatical about mainting the proper water chemistry over the years using the Taylor dropper kit and I always keep my numbers within the guidelines advertised here at TFP 7.5 PH, 3-4 FC, 60-80 ALK, 40-50 CYA, 250 CH
- Recently I have noticed my Cell light flashing green and when I goto Diagnostics in my Easy Touch under chlorinator it reads the SALT level at 3700 and reads CLEAN CELL!!! below that in the display
- Ive performed already 2 acid washes this summer and seen no bubbling whatsoever and the inside of the cell grids look sparkling silver clean and show no sign of damage. So I do not think it is accurately reporting the correct problem of why the cell light is flashing
- Next step I tried was to go into SWG diagnostic mode by pressing and holding the MORE button on the actual cell.
- The cell lights cycle and then eventually stop with one red light -under LOW SALT (everything else displays green) and the CELL LIFE displays 2 Bars which indicate only 4,000 hours used so I am thinking there is still plenty of cell life left to this unit
- current pool temp is reported at 62 degrees ( we will be closing pool this week)
