No chlorine after replacing salt cell

[tpiglia1]

Hey! We have a 25,000 gallon salt water pool with a sand filter. In mid February we replaced the salt cell because it was at the end of its life. At the same time we had to drain the pool to replace the lights. Ever since then we have had issues with no chlorine in the pool. At first we thought we were just having issues with getting all the chemicals back to a stable level. However, we just checked it again and everything is within normal limits except for a pH of 8.0 and 0 chlorine (salt 3200 and stabilizer 60) . We have a pentair IC salt cell. We have the company that installed it coming back out to check it out. Is there anything that we are missing that could be causing no chlorine to be produced besides the salt cell?

Thanks in advance!

Depending on what size the cell is, how high it’s turned up, and whether you have algae brewing -unseen for the moment- can all be possibilities. Can you post the complete set of test results?

Welcome to TFP.

Does your pool pass a Overnight Chlorine Loss Test? If not, you have algae consuming all the chlorine the cell is producing and you need to follow the SLAM Processto get your pool algae free.
