We have a pentair intellichlor generator. Since the end of last pool season our flow light has been red off and on and now mostly stays red. This causes the production of chlorine to stop. The pool is only 3 years old.
My husband did cut the wires to flow switch and it was still red. We purchased a new flow switch because we were advised by local pool store who was advised by a pentair rep. The flow switch light is still red with the new part:(
We have cleaned it with the acid wash and had very little fizz. It all looks clean.
Im afraid the cell is bad but how would we know? I will be upset if the cell is already going bad after only 12 mos of use. Can anyone help?

Are you saying he cut the red and black wires coming out of the cell and tied them together and the cell did not operate?
