Stay the course. This was my pool upon opening last year. A weeklong SLAM cleared it up.

I think so. IIRC, I paid $600 for my P40 three years ago.

I've had one of these going on 3 years now, and still working fine. It's a straight drop-in replacement for the I 40. They make an IC60 counterpart for a few hundred more. https://www.discountsaltpool.com/apex-p40-aftermarket-replacement-cell-for-pentair-intellichlor-ic40-520555

Going on my 3rd year with one, still working just fine.

Correct, everything is done on the built in control panel.

I just finished my 2nd season with a generic replacement for my IC40 and it's still going strong. It's a straight drop in, no plumbing or wiring changes required. Here's the IC60 version for $850: APEX P60 Aftermarket Replacement Salt Cell fits Pentair IC60

It was about 50, and I considered that. But it displayed the version info correctly at startup prior to changing to the black squares.

After a while, the display finally came on. I will keep an eye on it and see if it does it again.

Yes to all, pump is running. I just started holding down buttons and the heater fired up and is running now. The display is still all boxes though. I watched as I powered it up again and the version info was displayed properly briefly before it went into this state, so I know the display...

Just put this heater in new last season and tried to start it up today for the first time, only to have the display come on, but all the fields are just black squares. Has anyone ever experienced this or have any idea what to do about it before I call a service tech? Thanks!

Mine is still kicking.
