Thanks to all for your input. I feel fortunate to have received 7-seasons out of the cell. Not complaining at all about the length of use. Just wanted to make sure I wasn't missing anything. @jeffchap - Thanks for the link. Trying to decide if I'm going to replace the cell or stick with liquid...

Hi all, It's been a while. My IC40 seems to have died (not producing chlorine). I tested by running her overnight and saw no increase in FC. This would be my 8th season with her so I've gotten my monies worth from her. Just want to check for suggestions before I toss her. The only error/alert...

Diagnostic testing is 100% normal. Very frustrating, thinking I may need a new cell.

I'm back! Pentair sent me a flow switch/sensor no charge due to the fact that my unit was just out of warranty. Got it replaced last night, everything seems to be working correctly, however, I ran a test over night and from when I took my test at 9:00 p.m. and 6:30 a.m. my FC had only gone-up...

Thank you all for your help, I'm on hold w/Pentair as I type!

I follow you now, sorry I didn't catch to press it again. If I'm reading this correctly I'm getting 100% flashing which is IC40 Temp Sensor is bad. Correct? - Here's the video of the second part of the diagnostics - https://youtu.be/uvXGTPEX8xg

Not sure if I did this right. Held "more" button down, after all lights stopped flashing this is what remained lit prior to going back to regular mode. I also recorded it so you could see the entire process as I'm not sure I did it correctly. Video is here - https://youtu.be/PIocFv4j3YI

Added a bag of salt yesterday. During the day (108 degrees here in Vegas), 5 people in pool for 3 hours and it maintained the FC level, no loss. Ran pump overnight from 9:00 p.m. - 6:00 a.m., tested around 5:45 a.m. and gained .5 FC. Seems low to only gain .5 running 9 hours with no sun. IC40...

Spoke w/Pentair and they report that the reason I'm seeing the "off" light is due to the fact that I'm watching it right after the pumps turn on and theres a setting to not turn on IC for 5 minutes after pumps have been turned on. Been monitoring and haven't seen "off" light on during normal...

@mknauss/@ajw22 - Makes sense now. Going to try and get them to send me one, if they give me any trouble I'll just order one. I'll report back once I install and update whether or not it solved the issue.

@ajw22 - I agree, not going to mess with the chemistry, had same chemistry for 3 seasons and never an issue. Curious why you would replace the flow sensor? I haven't been thrown a low flow error once, the red light I've seen once and I check the IC's status often, several times a day via my...

Water was 82 at that time. Still under warranty but they said as long as my Phosphates are over 125 (I'm at 300) they won't do any warranty work. Also say I need to test my nitrates. I know all this is bS as it worked just previous seasons with same water source, make-up etc.

I took a picture and circled in Red the light that was on. All other lights were off

Just got off phone w/Pentair and they're telling me its either Phosphate levels 300 and/or Nitrates. Very strange as everything read here that shouldn't impact this. Also, I know my Phosphate levels were the same or probably higher the prior three seasons as whenever I had Leslie's check my...

Still not maintaining chlorine. Checked IC40 this a.m. and it was off, red light was only light on. Turned system on and off a few times and nothing. Checked back in about 30 minutes and its on again and seems to be working. I tested water best I could coming out of the return and FC was 3 (I'm...

@mknauss - Interesting observation. My CH is around 300 (Vegas has very hard water, water is about 30 days old). Been fighting to keep pH down as my TA is on the high side. Going to try and keep my pH around 7.6 for a few days which will keep my CSI in the range you list and see how that works...

Did OCLT last night; FC - 5 at 10:00 p.m., FC - 5 at 6:00 a.m., so all good there. Neighbor loaned me his digital tester and I'm averaging 2900, IC40 is reading about 1000 higher than digital test. Wonder if my salt is too low, getting good bubbles out of returns. Puzzling, wondering if unit...

Sorry, been awhile since I posted and I forgot my numbers. From last night's test: FC - 2 CC - .5 pH - 8 TA - 80 CYA - 80 - - - Updated - - - Edited original post to change running % to 80% vs. 89 (fat finger typo). Sorry, been awhile since I posted and I forgot my numbers. From last night's...

This is my 4th season with my IC40. Unit is well maintained, I remove every fall, clean and install again in spring. All lights are green, IC40 is reading salt level at 4050, based on the number of bags I put in (drained pool/acid washed this spring) it's actually around 3,100. Small bubbles...

I run mine at 1150 and I have a pretty long run, seems to work fine.

No help on your question and don't want to take this thread off topic but I really like the Omni-logic look and data it reports back. I've been somewhat disappointed with Screen Logic and the Screen Logic app, almost looks like they released it early and have yet to complete it. Very nice.

Installed cell over lunch, all lights green, reporting salt at 3200 (will throw another bag of salt in tonight to get to the recommended 3400), started at 1450 rpm and took her as low as 1200 rpm and she was working great. Set her at 50% while I still have that puck floater in there, will get to...

Past my plaster breaking period, my salt is in the desired range per my manufacture, I took my CYA to 30 using grannuals in a sock in my skimmers, I've been running three trichlor pucks in a floater for the past three weeks to chlorinate and raise CYA and I'm still adding a little bleach every...
