    Salt level dropped surprisingly... a LOT!

    I also have a big drop in salt level. using the taylor test kit. It was about 3900ppm about a month ago. It is now at 3200ppm. I didnt really have to fill the pool more than the usual evaporation. Can my filter cause this? I didnt really clean it for the pool open this year yet.

    Intellichlor ic40 Plate broke off.

    So one of the center plate broke off in my IC40. I assume the chlor Cell is toasted after 5 years of service. Before I get a new Cell at $600 2 Questions 1. Any way to repair it? 2. Anyone tried retrofit to Intex Krystal Clear Saltwater system at way lower price?
