Hey Everyone - I have an IC60 that is on it's 4th summer. Lately it doesn't appear to be making chlorine. I have attached photos of the cell (all green lights) and my logs for testing. This has been occurring for about a week. I have cleaned the cell two days ago with muriatic acid. When I hook it back to the system again and started the system it blew almost a filmy substance into the water (oil slick) and then the water was cloudy. I read online that the cells last for about 5 years. I have been substituting with liquid chlorine for now. I have been checking my chlorine levels for the past week with my TFT100 kit and it doesn't really get over 1 PPM even though I have it on super-chlorinate or 100% chlorinate depending if I am in Service Mode or Auto on Pentair Easytouch. Anyone have any ideas or is it just shot? Weird if the cell light is green. Thanks you guys are always awesome!

OCLT = free
IC60 = $1340 plus tax and/or shipping.

99% of the time, if the cell light is solid (or solid at the appropriate intervals when running less than 100%), the cell is fine.

Well last night FC was 3 ppm and this morning is 1 PPM - so SLAM it is. I am lowering Ph to 7.2. Question though I am getting two different targets for FC between the app and the website. Website says: IMG_3146.png
App says: IMG_3145.png
24 seems very high….. thanks fuys
 
Slam is 40% of your CYA, so 24. Slam is not on the regular page as it's not 'regular'. That's why you had to click it on in the app tab.
