I bumped up the output of my cell to 80% yesterday morning (was set at 60%) and my FC is up to 4.2 this morning. I can access the output of my cell from the Easy Touch controller but still no lights on the cell.

Pentair support had no answers except replace the cell...funny thing though is that my FC was up to 3.4 this morning when I checked it so it looks like the cell might be working without lights on. :hammer:

I'll call Pentair tomorrow and see if technical support has any ideas and thanks for the suggestions. I haven't verfied that the transformer in the Easy Touch panel is actually working but I will research that and try and find out how to check it. My IC40 (and all pool equiptment) is in a...

There are no lights at all lit on the IC40 cell. I pulled the cell off and inspected it and the cell had a really large amount of scale build up so I acid washed it twice and installed again and still no lights on the IC40 cell.

I picked up some test strips for salt and the water tested at 2,100 ppm so I added 3 bags (150lbs) of salt to see if this is a fix. Evidentially the SWG just recently shut down 'cause below are my test numbers from this morning. FC-3.2 PH-7.7 TA-80 CYA-60 CH-210 Hopefully the additional salt...

In the troubleshooting guide under "Cell light does not come on" it says one of the "Possible Causes" is Salt level below 2500ppm...I guess it is possible that I let the salt get lower than 2500 but would this shut off power to the cell completely? I don't have any test strips for salt as I just...

Just checked the connection again and it looks good and solid.

The cable from the IC 40 connects to the bottom of the Easy Touch panel and I have checked this connection several times and it appears to be making good contact with no corrosion...do I need to follow the wires inside the Easy Touch panel from the connection?

I have a Pentair IC 40 with Easy Touch controller and this is my 4th year with my pool and have had absolutely zero problems until today. I went down to backflush and saw that no lights on my cell were on...I went ahead and backflushed and still no lights. I turned the breakers off and checked...

It appears that the consenus is to not use trichlor in an indoor pool. I read and re-read pool school and water chemistry and was having a really hard time grasping everything until I was able to recently start running a full test with the K-2006...it makes alot more sense now but I still have a...

I drained about 75% of the water on Saturday and then refilled and let the water circulate for over 24 hours and just tested a few minutes ago. I have gotten used to the Taylor K-2006 testing kit a little more and am pretty confident that the results are fairly accurate. I have also checked my...

Thanks Jason, The triclor is from the original supply the pool builder left when the pool was built..I read on here not to use triclor and asked them about it and they just laughed. My previous test kit didn't test for CYA or CH so I never really had those numbers until today. There is a...

First of all, I have a salt water pool at home (my second year with it) and have 0 problems balancing it. I am a Realtor and I represent a development and it has an indoor pool and an outdoor pool and I have been balancing those as well. I haven't had any problems balancing the outdoor pool...

68 here and couldn't resist...my son and I took a dip yesterday

Hey neighbors...I'm at the Lake Of The Ozarks. I am gonna wait 'till next week to open mine as the oak pollen is really heavy right now. Rain here today but I got a good pic of the sunrise the other day
