I recently noted my Pentair salt system stop working. All the lights on the cell are off. I noted the 12v breaker inside the easy touch keeps tripping every time I try to reset it. I removed the upper panel and noted the small connecting board was not lit green. When I unplugged the salt system from the bottom of panel the breaker would reset and the green light would be on. I inspected the cell and noted no issues but I acid cleaned it anyway. Still no power to the salt system. Any other options I may have? I hate to think the cell is bad. Its a little over 5 years old.. Thanks in advance.
 
Joe,

Sorry to say, but I have yet to see the 12 amp IntelliChlor breaker pop, only when the cell is connected, that was not a bad SWCG... :(

The cell is pulling too much current.

Most cells last 5 to 7 years..

How many gallons is your pool?

Thanks,

Jim R.
 
Joe,

A slight possibility is that the wiring between the EasyTouch and the cell is bad.. Chewed by an animal, or the connector at the bottom of the EasyTouch can get badly corroded. I doubt it, but worth checking.
