Hi everyone, I am on my 2nd year of owning a new pool and I have an issue with my Jandy AquaPure PLC1400 showing no flow messages on the status page of the iAqualink app from time to time. Long story short, last year I was running my VSP pump 24 hours a day on low...like 1200. I had my chlorine % no higher than 30% in the hottest months and all my levels were great. This year, I have been doing the same, but I noticed that I needed to up my chlorine % to 50% in order to maintain solid free chlorine numbers. After scratching my head why, I realized that from time to time my sensor would show no flow messages which explains why I needed to up the chlorine % higher as it was not working some of time. I took off the sensor and even though it looked perfect, I still cleaned it, backwashed, and it seemed to be okay for the next day or so and I figured it was fixed. Well, the issue is back again about a month later. I plan to backwash, clean the pump basket, skimmers, clean the sensor again, but does anyone else have any idea what else could be wrong besides a bad sensor in general? The flow message goes away when I double the VSP speed so I figured I would up the VSP to 1300...still got it, then 1500...still got it. Something seems weird because I can go a few days and I think all is well (I am not checking all day long to see if I have flow but periodically when I think of it) but last year I was fine running at 1200 speed and it never gave an issue. Just asking to see if anyone has any ideas. I dont love the idea of having to replace the sensor 1.5 years into owning it.
Thanks!
Thanks!
