Intellichlor IC20 Problem

Moved from HERE

Hi All - I have the same problem with my IC20 unit. This is the beginning of the 4th year using my unit and it only says that I've used 4000hrs so I find it a little early for me to buy a full replacement. Even though it doesn't say low salt, I'm going to try to add another bag of salt and see if the flash goes away. How long should it take after I add the extra bad of salt. Any feedback would be greatly appreciated!

Salt can take 24 hours to dissolve in your pool.

Do you have a K-1766 Taylor Salt Test

I will def wait 24hrs and see! Should I add some liquid chlorine in the meantime to bring it up a bit?

Yes, add liquid chlorine until you get the SWG running.

Wait till you get your K-1766 test kit before adding more salt.

What is your water temperature?

Cell still flashing, salt is at 3600, Just checked the Manufacturer date and its from March 2018. which make sense as I had my pool installed July of 2018. 3-4 years just seems like such a short span as well as only using 4000+ hours. Sounding more like my cell is dead. Thoughts anyone?
