I realize it can't be exactly precise.... what's lame is when my Salt is in a perfectly good level, and the CELL decides it's borderline ready to shut off because it thinks it's drastically low when it's not. I guess that's how they want to program it though.

Pool is currently 69 degrees, and the MORE button test on the IC-60 has the 60% and 80% lights showing , which indicates it thinks my pool is 66F to 75F, so that's perfect!

Ok, an update...... I just popped in a brand new Intellichlor IC-60, and we are All Systems Go!!! Side note.... unfortunately, the IC-60 thinks my Salt Level is 3150, which is a tad low, and exactly what my prior IC-60 would always do as well. Is this normal? (actually salt is 3400-3,600 range)

I have no idea how many hours of usage my Cell has..... but I leave my pool pump on 24/7, since Dec. 31, 2020.

Is mine behaving like an old cell, in need of replacing? I guess I don't know how an Intellichlor behaves when they're at the end of their road. My IC-60 was new, when My pool was built. We turned on the pool New Years Eve, Dec 31, 2020. So it has been in use for roughly 4 years and 36...

Ok, an update. An hour ago, I replaced the Flow Switch on the IC-60. The swap went flawless. Wires all feel snug and solid. Flow switch facing in the correct direction. I put the IC-60 back in and turned everything on. It's run for a while now, and the only lights that come up are...

Haha thanks for the positive spin on it, I appreciate it! I wish I would have bought a couple backup IC-60's back when I first got into the swimming pool thing 4 years ago. I think they were almost 1/2 the cost that they are today, give or take.

When I snipped the White Wire, and ran the Pool Temp reading thing on the IC-60..... it went from Blinking 100% before to Solid 100% light after..... so my problem wasn't solved. It seems the flow thing isn't working at all, because my FLOW light on the IC-60 is completely off no matter what...

Just an update, the IC-60 Intellichlor is still just flashing the alternating red & green lights. Must have been snipping the black wire that did that, I guess? Any thoughts from anybody? Is the diagnosis, just replace the Flow Switch and hope for the best, of just buy a new IC-60 for...

My "Low Salt" light has been on the last few days, and no other lights other than the salt % of 60% on the intellichlor IC-60. No FLOW light, nothing else. I tested it twice with the Taylor K-1766 kit, and my salt level is 3600. The Pentair thinks the level is 1550. I did the thing where...

I tried flipping the little switch on the back of my Valve Actuator a couple hours ago, and it didn't do anything. (I don't even know what this does, but I saw some annoying "Pool Guy" do it to one of my Actuator's a couple years ago and it seemed to make it move. Nobody actually explained to...

I just did some YouTube searches.... and I'll I just ordered this from Amazon since there was a short window to get it tomorrow. In case it helps this issue, I wanted to have it in hand so I can try it out tomorrow. (We're going out of town Saturday - Monday). It's a little switch that it...

So I put new Drain Plug in tonight, and then I fired my pool back up . And now it's as if "Pool Mode" thinks it's in Spillway mode. I've done "Reset" on my equipment pad control panel 3 different times, and it keeps coming back to Pool mode.... but it's draining from the pool, and returning...
