Good morning. I am new to the TFP method, but completed our first SLAM last week and so I’ve been troubleshooting other problems with our pool as I get used to the testing and more familiar with our pool. We have had our house with pool for 3 summers and realized at inspection that our pool was salt water. The first summer, we had a pool company open for us and ran as salt. We had a guy keeping up with our pool for us, so we weren’t familiar with testing and just went with what he said for the first summer. The second summer DH did it utilizing a pool store for testing-however our salt cell didn’t seem to be working and were advised to replace the salt cell, but didn’t have the funds since we had drained and repainted the plaster at the beginning of the season. So we treated the pool as chlorine only. This summer, I have taken over due to multiple issues with the pool store and because I work from home now, I am able to tend the pool more closely (as was needed with the SLAM process).
That being said, what do I need to look for on our SWG to confirm replacement is needed? We have an IntelliChlor IC40. Attached is a pic of the control panel. If I don’t need to replace the cell, can I convert mid season by just adding the necessary salt? The first light doesn’t show here but is blinking green. The second light is blinking red. Also links to threads for basic care/knowledge are appreciated (I have already read the SWG article in the ABCs section)
