cost to replace ic40

[hcpregeant]

How much should it cost for parts and labor to replace 1c40. I have a pool company giving me a quote of $1750.

If replacing just the cell, do it your self. Very easy. We can walk you through it.
You can get a replacement cell for about $1000. Contact Marina Pool in Denver, Polytec Pools in Las Vegas.

thanks. I think all you do is take it out like you were going to clean it and replace it back. Is that correct? Right now I do not have a connecioin to my screenlogic. Will this take care of that also?

 

[mknauss]

That is all it takes. You need to power down the entire system when you unplug the old one and plug in the new one.
The Screenlogic can be different. What is that issue?

Hc,

Did the cell ever have a connection to ScreenLogic??

If not, replacing the cell will not make any difference.

Why do you think the cell you have now is bad???

How old it the existing cell???

Thanks,

Jim R.

does not recognize salt cell

 

[mknauss]

That can be a few different things. Do you have other RS485 connections (remote, antenna for Screenlogic, pump, etc) that are working?

 

[Jimrahbe]

Hc,

That does not sound like a cell issue at all.

I assume you have an EasyTouch is that correct?

Did it every recognize the cell???

Tell me how you can tell it does not recognize the cell.

Does your ScreenLogic show the following page?

When you adjust the output % using ScreenLogic, does the output on the cell change?

Does does ScreenLogic tell you the salt level?

Tell us more..

Thanks,

Jim R.

Not sure. I can control pool cleaner and other devices from the app, just not salt cell

 

[hcpregeant]

Also, the actuator needs to be replaced at a cost of $375 cost and labor. Does either of these prices sound reasonable?3

Yes it is easy touch. Worked from day one. When I checked salt level it said 0 salt. I test with salt kit and salt and chlorine level were fine. Can change output on app but does nothing.

5 yrs old. Not producing chlorine always been connected

Also, no lights.

hc,

Ok, no lights could mean that your EasyTouch is not supplying the cell with power.. or it could mean the cell is dead.

At 5 years old, it is not a bad idea to replace the cell. Most cells last 5 to 7 years.

If you have a voltmeter, I can walk you through some troubleshooting steps, if you wish. Just to make sure that your cell is the problem.

If you can show me a pic of the front panel on your EasyTouch.

Thanks,

Jim R.

What is wrong with actuator? Most can be repaired, if you are handy.
