Hey gang,
I'm entering my 4th season with the pool and have been following TFP methods for most of it. Tremendous resource!
The other day (day after I added 10lbs of calcium chloride, coincidence?) I noticed a 3ppm drop in my chlorine level and realized that it was my SWG not generating chlorine. I switched to Super Chlorinate and after a few seconds the Check Salt and Inspect Cell lights illuminated and stayed that way. Even after turning it off and switching it back to Auto. I removed the cell and gave it an acid wash with 4:1 water/muriatic acid. Hosed it off well and re-installed it. No more error lights. I assumed all was well until the next day when I noticed it still did not generate any chlorine. The panel still shows no error lights and the Generating light is on. Any ideas?
Here are the numbers in the display:
3400
72
26.6
6.64
39P
-3500
AL-0
r 1.59
t-15
The pool is clear and recently passed OCLT so its not additional chlorine consumption.
Thanks!

UPDATE 9:30am EST :::::
As a test, I just switched it back to Super Chlorinate and immediately the "Check Salt" and "Inspect Cell" lights came back on. My display now shows the following (my original readings were from about 2 hours ago):
0
73
32.4
0.00
39P
-0
AL-0
r 1.59
t-15
Is this indicative of a faulty PCB?
