Need some help, at my whits end.
Atlanta GA
42,000 gallon pool
Jandy PLC1400 SWGC
5 year old pool.
End of last year had some consistent algae problems. Finally figured out the SWGC was bad. In April I replaced it with an amazon offbrand cell (no sensor or electrical plug). About 3 weeks ago, pool starting going green. Screen says ‘No Flow’. I did all the maintenance steps:
- Cleaned filters
- cleaned skimmers
- cleaned baskets in pool equiment
- soaked cell in muratic acid to clean it.
No resolve. So I bought a OEM Jandy Aquapure kit with sensor and plug.
Installed 2 days ago - worked for a few hours and I was relieved. Got home, and NO FLOW AGAIN!!!!
I just did the test steps I saw in another thread
Circuit board seems ok?
Disconnect the flow salinity temp sensor from the circuit board. Press and hold the test buttons marked salinity and R-temp.
While still pressing the test buttons press the ‘Salinity’ key (‘C’) on the front cover of the unit. The LCD should read 2.8 gpl*.
READS 3.2
While still holding the two circuit board test buttons press the ‘Pool Temperature’ key (‘D’). It should read 75° F or 24° C.
READS 74
Next, press and hold the board ‘H-Temp’ test button, and at the same time press the ‘Salinity’ key (‘C’) together with the ‘Chlorine Production Rate’ arrow down key (‘A’) on the front cover of the unit. The LCD should read 91° F or 33° C .
READS 90
If the readings are correct then the circuit board is O.K. and the problem is with the flow sensor.
I went out right now to take pictures for this post, rebooted, and I have FLOW. Then 20 minutes late, No Flow.
Turned system off and on again. Screens shows 60 which I think just signifies American electrical. Then Cell Reversing Light and Wait for maybe 2-3 minutes, I noticed the production was showing 0, so I turned it up to 100%, Cell turns on, has Flow….5 minutes later, No flow, and Light for Cell reversing again.
PLEASE HELP!!
