Thanks to one and all for the advice. Unfortunately things seemed to get worse with the cell not working on either polarity. In my search for a replacement cell I found a great deal on a new Autoclear plus with one new cell for less than a replacement cell for the ecomatic. Had to reduce the...

Ok, I started by having the unit produce at 100%. Actually, it was producing at 91%. Polarity +. 30.0v. The unit reversed polarity which of course results in shutting itself down. i reset power. It was producing at 41%. Polarity -. 31.2v.

Thanks for all the advice guys. We can eliminate the possibility of corrosion as I've cleaned the cell and the terminals. When I initially checked the voltage I switched the terminals but used the same probe on the same terminal. This morning I measured the polarity and the voltage when it...

Ok, I've now checked with my multimeter. When producing at 100%: 28.7 volts When polarity is reversed - producing at ~50-60%: 31.5 volts Thoughts?

Thanks Sean, I'll try that this weekend and post what I find. I suppose there is not an easy way to program the unit to not reverse polarity is there? At least that way I could use up the cell completely before having to buy a replacement.

Thanks Jason. Is that a user replaceable part & if so, where might I find a replacement part?

First time poster... We moved into a house last summer and I am in the process of getting the pool squared away and have everything humming except for the SWG. It is a Ecomatic ESC-36 that looks to have several years on it. It is from the Monarch days. Cable looks to be in good order. Salt...
