Hello! It's been awhile since I've hopped on here, but I use the Pool Calculator app alot! I've always appreciated TFP.
I did search for this issue on google and this forum, but the search bots seem to want to talk about the salt level being low
So here's my issue:
I have a Pentair IC40 SWG that has lasted me quite some time (7, 8, 9 years), and the Life cell was blinking last year, so I know my time is short.
Yesterday, I removed the dummy cell and connected the SWG cell, and fired it up. I had already balanced the pool and added some salt per my test strips, but figured I may need to add another bag or two.
The SWG was happy enough to give me the yellow Check Salt light and I ran it most of the day, but the red Low light came on in the evening so I shut the pool down.
I added another bag of salt this morning and started the SWG again, and the Life and Good lights now flash alternately (I'm attaching a pic (6469) where my camera caught the Good light lit, but it alternates between the Good light and the Life light).
I held the More button to enter diagnostics, and the red Low light lights and stays lit, along with the green Pwr, Cell, and Life lights. (Pic attached, 6470). My 60% and 80% 'bulbs' have been out for some time (but the 20, 40, and 100% bulbs do work), so I'm not really sure what the bottom row would otherwise show.
So I'm just wondering if I'm out of luck and now have a bad cell, even though it seemed to work yesterday until the red Low light came on?
Thanks as always for any help!
