Hi folks, on my Pentair Intellichlor IC20, the inspect cell light would blink green indicating some problem with the cell. After going through various helpful posts on the forum, I diagnosed that my cell's flow switch temperature sensor was the problem. I opened up the flow switch, clipped the wire and then joined up the red and black wires, while leaving the white and green wires cut.
The cell seems to be generating chlorine fine now! I will try and determine the correct percentage to run it at and get a good chlorine level in my pool. I'm looking for a replacement flow switch, but here in Niagara Falls, Canada those are sold quite overpriced? I'm getting price quotes for anything between CA$160 to CA$300. I'm still looking for the right shop to buy from, please suggest where I might find a flow switch for my Pentair Intellichlor at a decent price - any suggestions are welcome!
The question for me, now is this: Is running the SWG without a temperature sensor going to cause any problems in the medium term? I intend to replace the entire SWG next year - according to the More menu diagnosis it is through about 60% of its 10,000 hours life.
