My IC40 gave me the dreaded flashing green cell light this season and after troubleshooting (mainly from lurking this forum) I am out of answers besides the cell being bad.
- Cell is 5 years old.
- Holding down "More" button displays 20%. (Pool is only open 3.5 months a year and usually dont have to run it much for clean/clear water).
- There was no calcium build up on the plates, i acid cleaned it anyway, no change. Plates in excellent condition.
- Holding down "More" button quickly after cell life displays showed no % lights which made me think it was reading temp low.
- clipped white and green wires to the thermistor, no change.
- Added salt thinking maybe it was misreading levels...after two bags the salt light is flashing indicating too much.
Any other suggestions on troubleshooting? Any experience with the Splash IRCF40 Cell instead of Pentair? Pretty disappointed to find out these things only last 3-7 years on average as they are pretty expensive.
Thanks everyone.
