Installed a new Pureline t-15 cell on a Aquarite 900 system about 2 months ago. Everything was great until about 2 weeks ago. I had been running the cell at ~30% and maintaining a steady 3.5-4.0 Cl level (its oversized for the pool).
Suddenly the Cl cratered. No error lights. Good salt and CYA, pH levels. Thought it might have been caused by recent storms. So I chemically shocked and also turned the cell up to 75%. Stabilized Cl for a few days and then the same thing occurs. I've pulled the cell and its definitely generating Cl (lots of bubbles). Aquarite diag looks good too (3300 salt, 85F, 26.2v, 7.37a). salt levels verified with test kit (3000).
The only thing I can think is that it is shutting down at some point during day. But I have yet to catch it -- or at least the volts/amps look like its generating. Was thinking of trying an amp meter around the cell cable, but I'd need to find one that logs unattended over several hours, and not sure whether this would actually work. Also noticed the Pureline cell has a plastic panel where the cord attaches that seems to be a sloppy fit. Thought about popping that open to see if there is a loose connection underneath, but not sure that I can without marring the plastic and potentially voiding a warranty that I may need to use.
At a loss on how to troubleshoot further. Any ideas?
