Jim, after some more testing here is what I observed today, your right about working fine on startup.....i shut system completely down and rebooted easy touch system. The cell took a new salt reading which reported approx 3180ppm ( when it was flashing earlier it was reporting 2800ppm) I still...

Hey all I just opened pool for this season in Northern NJ area. Temp reading on my Pentair Automation is showing outside temp of 52F and Water temp of about 56F I noticed after about 20mins of turning on all equipment, that the SWG IC20 cell light went from solid to flashing green. I recall from...

That is correct. In operational mode, Salt Light is Green and the CELL light is flashing green which is what was confusing me about low salt being the actual issue.....BUT when I run the SWG in diagnostic mode (Hold down MORE button for 3 secs) it cycles and then displays all the the lights in...

Interesting...so how does this sound as next steps in the following order: If K-1766 Salt reading is below IC20 Minimum spec, Add salt to bring it up to min requirement (regardless of what SWG is reading) If this resets CLEAN CELL message and starts functioning properly, then order new flow...

Great question, that was my next step to find out true salt reading. However, im curious as to what that will tell me if the reading is different than the SWG, which it most likely will be. I guess if true salt reading is actually below what the min. requirement is for IC20 SWG, I should add...

thanks for the quick feedback/ In an attempt to further isolate the problem, I did notice something odd....I noticed that the Pentair flow arrow on the wiring cap of the cell was pointing in the opposite direction of the actual flow (it is pointing away from the pool inlets and towards the...

Hey all.... I could use some next steps advice to try and isolate problem Im currently having on my IC20 SWG 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...

Ok did all 3 tests and everything is perfect. Pass the SLAM process..... Now can someone assist on how to tackle these out of whack numbers? FC 24 CC 0 PH 7.8 TA 200 CYA 30-40 (approx) Thus far Ive completely shut off my SWG as I do not need anymore chlorine to be generated at this...

Hey folks....Im in Northern NJ, and I just opened my pool a little early in the season this week. The company that built it opened it for me while I wasnt home but they left a note that they shocked it too. I have run my filter for the last 48 hours, backwashed, reloaded DE and did several...

My panel displays 240w at 1600rpm and I think it jumps up to 275w if I bump it to 1800rpm would there be any tell tale signs that the cell would need an acid cleaning without taking it apart and looking inside it? This is my 2nd summer now with the same Salt Cell and I havent cleaned it yet at...

ok cool thanks......question, the fact that you can eun your pump at only 1100 rpm with no problems with the SWG cell flow light leads me to question why I cannot go below 1600 RPM before my IC20 SWG Red Light Cell flow starts flashing....Could this be an indicator of a dirty cell? DO you think...

I also notice that if I bump up the VS pump to about 1800 the bubbles disappear.....and I notice if I lower my VS pump to any speed UNDER 1600, the Pentair IC20 SWG Red Flow Light comes on......Could this air bubble thing have anything to do with the SWG?....maybe needing a cleaning or...
