Thank you everyone for the replies. I have no way of knowing the controller is bad right now, but I'm going to give the replacement cell a try. DSP is offering a 30-day return on the cell if it doesn't fix the problem.

DSP is where I was going to get the replacement cell. But is this the typical failure mode of a cell at end of life? Is there any way to test them with a meter or anything? What exactly wears out on them?

~25K gal, vinyl lined inground, in MD. I've got an older resilience SWG, ~10 yrs old. It has served me really well, but is currently having a problem. When I turn the knob up to increase the output, it will not go past ~20% and it also does not generate sufficient chlorine. I tried cleaning...

The filter setup doesn't seem to matter. It is visible areas of sand silt that it just never travels over. When it actually travels over the dirty areas, it picks it up fine. It is more that whatever algorithm it is using to traverse the pool, it just misses areas. The blue diamond just...

So I picked up an Active 20 in Summer 2019 to replace our Blue Diamond that lasted us 12 years. Didn't run it much for what was left in 2019 and none in 2020 due to tree falling on pool. But after opening pool this season and running it a bunch, I must say, I'm really disappointed overall with...

I'm having a similar problem with my brand new Active 20 as well. Runs a very short duration then shuts down. Try to restart it and it will move a few inches, stop, then move a few inches again, stop...and stay stopped. If I unplug it for a while and then try again, it will run for a short...

Well my brand new Active 20 is a dud. I've only tried to run it a couple times and was really disappointed with how it was cleaning the pool. I checked on it more today and found that it was shutting off after only a few min of running. Now when you try to turn it on, it attempts to move...

Sold, thanks. Rich

$60 + shipping. Someone take this off my hands, Thanks Rich

I've got a Pool Blaster MAX Commercial Grade. Used it for one season a couple years back, then got a Blue Diamond and it has sat ever since. Tried to fire it up before putting it up for sale but the battery is dead inside. Has the fine silt filtration bags too. Have all documentation, parts...

This exact thing just happened with my ipure from intermatic (a rebadged resilience unit). They are replacing it for me under warranty. If you get any further information about what the exact failure is/was from resilience, I'd be interested in knowing. Rich

When I got home from work yesterday, the pool had finally started to turn the corner. I increased the FC a good bit higher for overnight and this morning, I have a lovely cloudy blue pool! Now to just maintain and filter / vacuum out the dead algae. Intermatic is sending me a new SWG under...

It is an IPURE from intermatic. It worked like an absolute champ last season when I put it in, was very happy with it. But this season, it will not start generating. The power light comes on, but nothing else is functioning. I have been talking with intermatic about it and likely will have...

As of right now, I am not as I'm just about out of the 0871 reagent and have been testing more sparingly. This algae and high shock levels have depleted my supply with all the testing I have been doing. Have been adding one 182 oz jug of 6% bleach every few hours and testing BEFORE I add the...
