- Pentair Intellichlor IC-40
My intellichlor IC 40 salt cell is powering up and then immediately turning off and starting over again. I'd just replaced the flow switch, when I first turned it on it was fine, went out to check two hours later and it was doing the power cycle thing.
Info about my system -
Salt cell was first installed in 2009, wired to come on when pump turns on. 2011 we installed the EZ-Touch panel, but left the Intellichlor as a stand-alone not tied to the controls.
Salt cells seem to last about 2-3 years. In the 10 years I've had the system, I've had 3 warranty replacements and purchased one replacement cell.
Last replacement cell was purchased in 2015, warranty replaced in 2017. I contacted Pentair when this cell had continuous flow and salt light. After some back and forth, decided it was the flow switch which I purchased a replacement on Amazon and installed it myself.
Thanks for any assistance you're able to provide.
