    Pentair IC40 IntelliChlor- making no chlorine???

    Never thought about it but maybe the algae is overwhelming the salt generator- I will test it. Only problem is a few hours ago the low salt light started blinking- no surprise with all the rain. So, I had to throw in a bag of salt. Does high ph indicate there might be algae? It keeps climbing...

    Pentair IC40 IntelliChlor- making no chlorine???

    Dirk- agree, I'm past the expected life Jim R.- I ran the test. Turned the power to 0, then set it at 40%. The cell light was on 1:45, off 3:14, on 1:45, off 3:14, etc. Wow! I never knew it did that! Still, I've had the thing on for weeks at 100% and my chlorine has not gotten above 2 unless I...

    Pentair IC40 IntelliChlor- making no chlorine???

    I've had this Chlorinator for about 10 years and it has worked well, but this season I noticed it has been producing no chlorine.

My SWCG was showing low salt- kind of made sense after a lot of rain. Then I tested and was getting 4,000. hmmm.. I tested again and got...

    Where is the chlorine from my Intellichlor ic40?

    Thank you all for your help! I just have to say this forum is great and the advice really good. I would not be trying to do this stuff without it. Anyway... I've learned a few things: I think my pool builder should have put in the intellichlor ic60 instead of the ic40- the ic40 isn't big enough...

    Where is the chlorine from my Intellichlor ic40?

    How do I know if my Intellichlor ic40 is really producing chlorine as it should? The unit is about 4 years old, my salt level is good, all the lights are green, I'm running it at 100 percent output, I have even cleaned it with acid and there is almost no buildup inside. So why is the chlorine...
