    Cleaning IC40 Cell

    I’ve searched threads as best I can, so hope this is not redundant... Last Friday, I installed a z-wave smart switch and started running the pump and chlorinator from 9am to 6pm, but didn’t think to Increase the output percentage, so it was running only at 40% all week. I noticed the water...

    Replace IC40?

    The IC40 I purchased from Amazon and installed in 2016 has apparently died. All the lights make it appear as though it is working, but no chlorine is being produced. Fc=0, CYA=60, pH=7.5, TA=90; salt~3450 Pool was built in 2010; and this is the second SWG. Maybe Pentair isn’t my best choice...

    What to do first??

    Here are my numbers: FC 9.5 TA 60 CYA 40 pH 7.2 Water temperature is 54. Chlorinator is not on due to cold water temperature. Do I add stabilizer or baking soda first, or does it matter? No salt reading because I don't have any test strips and the closest store isn't open yet.
