Hi We have above ground pool and we just opened it, just put salt in today, the pool is cloudy... on the intelli the lights that are on are: salt level blinking red and green, flow light is red and the sanitizer is blinkling....please advise.
 
Mary,

If the low flow light is on, you may as well just quit right there.. Nothing will happen until you have a good low light..

The red/green flashing light means the unit is trying to run the salt test, but until you have flow it will not pass ...

The cell will not work unless you have water flowing through it.

You either have flow or you don't... Is the pump running? Is water going through the cell and back to the pool?

Show us a pic of your set up...

Thanks,

Jim R.

Hi Jim we have a 16x22 oval above ground pool.
Yes to all the above. When I get home from work I will take it apart and look for blockages, when I put the i
 
Welcome to TFP.

Do you have a test kit like the K-1766 Taylor Salt Test to determine your pool salt level?

How much salt did you add to your pool?

Please create your signature with details of your pool and equipment. Like how many gallons in your pool?

What is your water temperature?

The sanitizer light is blinking indicating the output is set to 10% of less.
We added 4 bags of 40lbs bags of salt late yesterday after noon. I'm going to take it apart later today to see if there is a blockage. The intelli is only a year old.

Hi we have a 16x22 above ground oval. 30,000 gallons water. Temperature is over 60 degrees.
 
Mary,

If you have good flow at the port where water is coming back into your pool, then either the flow switch is bad, or you have the cell installed backwards.
