Pentair Intellichlor IC-40
I have been having an issue with my Pentair IntelliChlor IC40 since at least December. Cell is almost four years old. Located in South Florida so runs 365 days a year.

Unit was turning on normally and running thru regular start-up cycle but the the only light lit was Salt Level which was flashing green. Pool tested within normal salt range multiple times.

I took cell apart to clean it. There was some scale but nothing terrible. Same behavior after cleaning.

I did a good amount of research on TFP and it sounded like cell could be at end of life >10k hours of usage. (Things I should have asked when pool was installed!)

Ordered a new cell but before I have had time to install I noticed the IC40 now has no lights on it and does not run thru its start-up cycle when pool starts up in the AM.

Is there anything I should check before installing new cell? I am concerned that if there is a problem with the power center it could harm the new cell.

Any advice is greatly appreciated!
 
Sunny,

I suspect it is a bad cell.

If the cell has no lights and it was a Power Center problem, it would be too low a level of DC voltage.

Installing the new cell would not hurt it .

Thanks,

Jim R.
