Final fix - it appears I had two issues that were running us in circles. The original Pentair IC40 was intermittent but also the new Apex60 was bad and coincidentally was also giving a low salt indication. I am also confident that the original surge card that had low output voltage didn't help...

My thoughts as well. So I purposely shut down and restarted the system three times and everything is working. Can’t troubleshoot what isn’t broken so I’ll just wait but in the meantime the Apex is getting returned as it has never worked. Appreciate all of your inputs.

Well I may have spoke too soon. Yesterday (Friday) while everything was working I shut everything off. Installed the Apex 60, turned everything on and it still says low salt and the cell will not generate. Reinstalled the Pentair IC40 and it now shows low salt. Decided to take a break and leave...

sounds good. This had many people stumped. I saw in the original post the fix by the pool guy was to install an external cell power center. Cant help but wonder if the $80 card would have been a fix for him as well. When I spoke to Pentair they said it could not be the power supply; they said if...

Jim and AJW Gentlemen we have a fix. I replaced the surge card and immediately checked the output voltage with the cell connected and got 36VDC. In the time it took to check the voltage the cell timed in (less than 2 min before it was close to 5 min) all green lights and I am producing chorine...

That doesn't look like fun. I did some F-4 work while I was assigned to the 2952nd CLSS at Hill AFB UT. Also worked F-15, and F-111 during my fist assignment at Eglin AFB FL.

Jim I ordered a new surg card, found one on Amazon that had high reviews for ~$80. It will be here on Wed. I'll post an update on my findings after I get it installed.

Just ordered the card. Found one on Amazon with good ratings for $79. Should be here Wed. Thank you both for your inputs. I will let you know the results once I have it installed. On a separate note , this is the first time I have gotten into the control panel. Learned a lot from this. Also I...

Jim, with the cell connected I probed the back side of the white connector and get 24.8 VDC. I am betting it is the card. I see the pentair number on the card is 521593. Sound right?

Ok gentleman output from the transformer is 31 VAC. I measured it at the AC power input wire (red) at the chlorinator circuitboard (ccctexh cm-1} . Output from the circuitboard is still 27VDC, not 39 VDC as the circuit card states and as you stated. Here are pictures to assist

Thanks Jim, when I read back through the original post that described my issue perfectly I see where the gentleman said his pool guy brought over and installed a separate power supply to run the cell and it them worked. Makes me think that he too had a voltage issue. Regardless I will keep...
