    time for a replacement cell?

    Noticed in the last few weeks chlorine production from the SWG has gone down significantly. I've been seeing error message 123, which I guess means "extremely low current to cell" according to the Jandy manual. I took it apart and give it a muriatic acid bath. I noticed that one of the parts...

Today I went to clean the pump filter basket, followed the usual routine, but for some reason I turned the valve that connects the pump to the filter drum off (hadn't done that before), and water flowed back through...
