Looks like I may just need to get a new cell and change the way I clean it. Thanks so much for all the info.

I forgot to add the link. Yes it does, 1 part muriatic acid to 5 parts water. Thank you for the to link. I’ll plan on changing my process on the replacement...

I follow these instructions from Pentair… about every 4-6 months.

The reagents are brand new, just bought the Taylor test kit last week. Thank you.

Thank you! Ours calculates to 53%. We also just cleaned the cell.

Hi wondering if anyone has had a similar issue. We have a Pentair IC40. Pentair salt cell reads 2550 ppm on the ScreenLogic app so it has the low salt warning and is not generating chlorine. Tested our salt level with the Taylor drop test and result is actually high at 4800. We’ve already...

Hi, silly question but I am wondering if it is necessary to remove the salt cell for winter months in Sacramento area, California, and replace it with a dummy pipe, or if it’s okay to leave it in place? We did not close our pool, since we have an attached hot tub and the pump still turns on...

Thank you for your reply- just wanted to post an update. I finally reached out to my pool builder who then put in a Pentair warranty service call. The tech came out and was very familiar with this issue and told me that Pentair recently put out a firmware update which will likely fix this...

Hi, we just finished our pool and spa in February of this year. We’ve had this issue with “communication lost” 3 times since start up. Just wondering if anyone else has had this issue or if someone may have an idea of what’s going wrong. In a nutshell, I randomly notice that the pool is not on...
