Toward the end of last season my Jandy/Aquapure Unit started with error code 123. It was 5 years old then. After 2 cleanings of the salt cell with acid, still no free chlorine being produced so I began to use chlorine tabs. Finally ordered the new round PLC1400 from poolsupplyworld for $529 and had it installed last week. Still receiving the error code 123 and getting frustrated. Does that mean I have to replace a circuit board or the whole darn control panel? Called Jandy and they said to call them when I am at the control panel. Any suggestions? Pool looks and feels great even with the chlorine tabs, but still not what I paid for.

Would the sensor board be the same issue for error code 123, not enough current to the cell?

That error is low or no current to the cell. First thing to check is the cord. Look for heavy corrosion at both ends. Can sometimes fix by cleaning off the corrosion. Also look inside the cell at the cord end. The three pins go inside and connect to the plates. If one of them is rotted away, it's time for a new cell and cord.
I found the Jandy trouble shooting manual with respect to checking the voltage to find out if circuit board needs to be replaced. Is this a job that should be done by an electrician? The pool guy who installed the salt cell seems to think so and if he does not feel comfortable then I don't want him attempting. Is it just a matter of turning off power, opening box and replacing circuit board or is it more involved?
It is pretty straight forward. I have the newer model power base and cell but looked through that trouble shooting guide. if I remember right it shows pics of exactly where to put a voltmeter and what settings it should be and results. It is or seems very easy. If you have to change a board that is real easy too. Just make sure power to the unit is off first by shutting the circuit breaker to the unit.on the newer unit that I have there is a so called "daughter" board that goes between the flow sensor wire and circuit board. Find out if you need that.
Good luck

Thanks. I tried to call Jandy to ask about this, but I think it would have been easier to get President Obama on the phone. At this point, I just want to get it done, but trying to get someone you can trust, who isn't looking to sell you a pool contract is challenging.
I can pretty much do anything when I have written step by step instructions on something. Has anyone seen any instructions on how to replace the back circuit board for the Jandy Aquapure 1400 Control Board (error code 123)? I replaced the original salt cell with the Jandy PLC1400 kit and all cords are new and still getting error code. And if anyone has already done it, do you have step by step instructions?
Just replaced the back circuit board on the Jandy Aquapure 1400 yesterday afternoon and it was very easy. As soon as power restored, no more 123 error code. Took a test strip measurement this morning and I am showing that there is now adequate level of chlorine, but no free chlorine is registering. PH is good. Do I have to wait for system to run awhile before I see free chlorine level be where it needs to be? Could it by CYA level? Thanks.
