Pentair IC-40 not working

[goodie024]

Pentair IC-40 salt cell doesn’t appear to be working, 4th season with it, approx 5k hours on it now. Last season ran it at 40%, worked great. Cleaned it this season, cranked it to 100% and still doesn’t appear to be generating chlorine. Pool is crystal clear

Posted last two water tests, 2 days apart after boosting from 60% to 100%

Is the cell dead? Other ideas?

024,

Set the cell to 50% and watch the "Cell" light... It should come on for about 2.5 minutes and then it will be off for about 2.5 minutes.. Over and over again..

If the cell light is working then 95% of the time the cell is working..

Just because the pool is clear, does not mean you don't have algae..

You need to do an Overnight Chlorine Loss Test or OCLT.. Overnight Chlorine Loss Test

Please let us know what you find..

Thanks,

Jim R.

Set to 50%, and as you suggested, cell lit on and off for about 2 mins each time

I don’t have the ability to do a FAS-DPD test, just been running them at Leslie’s. Should I proactively treat for algae to eliminate that as the cause of the issue?
