Ichlor 30 flow switch

[andruwm]

Hi,

I was getting inaccurate readings on my IC30, specifically very high water temperature and salt readings that were all over the place. I've seen this can typically be a faulty flow switch on these units so I replaced it a few days ago. It's working again, but the readings are still all over the place and now it thinks the salt is low again so it's not producing chlorine. (Salt is in the 3500 range determined by both a pool store water test and a home test) My initial thought now is to do a factory reset to clear the memory and allow it to start using the new flow switch from scratch, could that be a start? Problem with that is when I hold down "more" for 10 seconds to initiate the reset nothing happens besides diagnostic mode...

Welcome to TFP.

No. There is no memory for salt. The cell measures salinity every 12 hours.

How old is your cell?

Installed late summer 2023, firs full summer 2024. It hasn't been cleaned, but the blades show no scale and chemistry is kept up. Even if it needed cleaning, other issues would be present I believe. Not the fluctuating water temp and salt levels? (Current water temp reading is 109 / Salt reading was 2600 yesterday and 1600 this morning)

File a warranty claim.

Warranty won't work in this situation as this one that was installed in the summer of 2023 was a warranty replacement for the original from June 2021...
