I have an Intelliclor IC40 which til today had run trouble free for several months. I just noticed that the cell light is off which (If I understand the manual correctly ) means it is not generating. The manual indicates that this most likely means that it is an off cycle but even though I now have it running it 80% of max it never seems to come on (i have checked it every 30 mins or so for the past few hours and it is never on).
Are there any known reasons to explain this ?
Additional info:
- All other lights are green
- A few months ago the low salt light was on even when salt level was high and I fixed this be changing the sesnor
- I cleaned the unit with acid 2 weeks ago and after that it kept telling me the salt level was high even though it wasn't. This problem fixed itself after a few days
- The salt level is currently 3400 according to a test I just did.
- I suspect it is really not generating chlorine for the past few days as the level was low (about 3 compared with my target of 5 which it normally maintains).
- Its been quite a cold week even though its 57F today - could that be related? I'm in SoCal so I doubt the water is that cold but not sure what minimum is and assume I would get a red light on the unit if the water was too cold ?
Any hints welcome!
