I realize it can't be exactly precise.... what's lame is when my Salt is in a perfectly good level, and the CELL decides it's borderline ready to shut off because it thinks it's drastically low when it's not. I guess that's how they want to program it though.

Pool is currently 69 degrees, and the MORE button test on the IC-60 has the 60% and 80% lights showing , which indicates it thinks my pool is 66F to 75F, so that's perfect!

Ok, an update...... I just popped in a brand new Intellichlor IC-60, and we are All Systems Go!!! Side note.... unfortunately, the IC-60 thinks my Salt Level is 3150, which is a tad low, and exactly what my prior IC-60 would always do as well. Is this normal? (actually salt is 3400-3,600 range)

I have no idea how many hours of usage my Cell has..... but I leave my pool pump on 24/7, since Dec. 31, 2020.

Is mine behaving like an old cell, in need of replacing? I guess I don't know how an Intellichlor behaves when they're at the end of their road. My IC-60 was new, when My pool was built. We turned on the pool New Years Eve, Dec 31, 2020. So it has been in use for roughly 4 years and 36...

Ok, an update. An hour ago, I replaced the Flow Switch on the IC-60. The swap went flawless. Wires all feel snug and solid. Flow switch facing in the correct direction. I put the IC-60 back in and turned everything on. It's run for a while now, and the only lights that come up are...

Haha thanks for the positive spin on it, I appreciate it! I wish I would have bought a couple backup IC-60's back when I first got into the swimming pool thing 4 years ago. I think they were almost 1/2 the cost that they are today, give or take.

When I snipped the White Wire, and ran the Pool Temp reading thing on the IC-60..... it went from Blinking 100% before to Solid 100% light after..... so my problem wasn't solved. It seems the flow thing isn't working at all, because my FLOW light on the IC-60 is completely off no matter what...

Just an update, the IC-60 Intellichlor is still just flashing the alternating red & green lights. Must have been snipping the black wire that did that, I guess? Any thoughts from anybody? Is the diagnosis, just replace the Flow Switch and hope for the best, of just buy a new IC-60 for...

My "Low Salt" light has been on the last few days, and no other lights other than the salt % of 60% on the intellichlor IC-60. No FLOW light, nothing else. I tested it twice with the Taylor K-1766 kit, and my salt level is 3600. The Pentair thinks the level is 1550. I did the thing where...

I tried flipping the little switch on the back of my Valve Actuator a couple hours ago, and it didn't do anything. (I don't even know what this does, but I saw some annoying "Pool Guy" do it to one of my Actuator's a couple years ago and it seemed to make it move. Nobody actually explained to...

I just did some YouTube searches.... and I'll I just ordered this from Amazon since there was a short window to get it tomorrow. In case it helps this issue, I wanted to have it in hand so I can try it out tomorrow. (We're going out of town Saturday - Monday). It's a little switch that it...

So I put new Drain Plug in tonight, and then I fired my pool back up . And now it's as if "Pool Mode" thinks it's in Spillway mode. I've done "Reset" on my equipment pad control panel 3 different times, and it keeps coming back to Pool mode.... but it's draining from the pool, and returning...

Sorry, I meant FC was 4.5. For some reason my brain and I mistakenly said the Chlorine was 4.5% earlier. I meant FC was 4.5.

I just checked Chlorine, and I'm still at 4.5%, so I should be good for today I think. It's overcast and rainy... sun is not out, so that's good. I just used that Tub Drain Extractor I bought from Lowes last night, and it worked great. (Link...

Thanks.... I'm getting one from Amazon on Friday.... I was just trying to get one tomorrow if possible (Thursday), since I've gotta get that pump up and running ASAP... I don't want any algae to start, haha!

Thanks, Are they located in Houston or something?

Does anybody in the Houston Area happen to have an extra Pentair Filter drain plug laying around?

Something like this might work.... for the 1.5" hole I need to fit into and remove. Now I just need to find one locally (Houston). It's a Tub Drain extractor. https://www.amazon.com/MILMUMU-Compatible-Extractor-Removes-Stubborn-Drains/dp/B0BNN3R2HZ

I think this is beyond my confidence level haha. Thanks for the thought tho. The PVC glueing thing seems like Something I could try tho. Any suggestion about what would be the best , most robust glue for this? It seems like I could just do this from "inside" the filter, by taking the...

I checked Leslie's website.... they don't appear to have the Drain Plug I need..... so I guess perhaps it's not as common a part as I hoped for. And I'm not convinced the one on Amazon is gonna work great, the reviews are bad.

I see... so you're saying maybe I could shove that Pipe Expander in there, and that would help me turn the threaded part to get it out?

It was a really clean break it seems. It's really hard, because there's no way to really get at the threaded part that's stuck in there. It's so close to the ground, and I'm kinda blocked by other pipes and plumbing and stuff to really get at it good. There's no way to see inside the hole...

"if any is sticking out on the inside, you can 'tighten it' all the way though with channel lock pliers" I'm not sure I understand what you're saying...... What are you describing I do? "If any is sticking out on the inside" ? I'm not following. BTW, thanks for your idea tho.

I just ordered this off of Amazon, it will be here tomorrow, but I'm fine with going to a Pool Store, if they have something NOW. I guess I will check Leslie's site now. Not sure how late they are open https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0B5KYRGLQ/

Would something like this possibly work? I found it in stock at my Local Lowes on their website. I just don't know how to try and install it. It says it needs both "Primer" and "Solvent Cement", whatever those are. Here is a LINK...

I have a LOWES store pretty close to my house I could go to, if there are ideas. It looks like the "hole" I need to block off is about 1.5 " in size, just going off measuring the size of hole from the broken off part. Pic attached:
