    IntelliChlor cholrinator does not have power

    My IntellicChlor Cell does not show power this morning. The is a circuit breaker in the main panel that is "tripped" and will not reset. Everything else is working. Cell was replaced 1 year ago and is clean. Had a lightning storm last night, wondering if it tripped it, but everything else has power.

    Florida AGP people, what is your winter/closing routine?

    I am in north Florida and choose not to close mine. It is just as easy to add extra chlorine, keep it clean, clear and ready to go. On really cold nights I will run the pump all night otherwise, just vac it a couple of times, still run filter. Pretty easy to keep clean, if leaves are a problem...
