HOW TO TEST SALT CELL- FIND OUT in 6 MINUTES if it’s WORKING

[@ScottMicale]

Thank you for the advice. I am trying this now. I hope it works. I added shock last night. Chlorine level seems good now. Just need to see if it hold. I just added stabilizer so we’ll see.

how did it work for you?

[@nicholaskorom8585]

I did this test and it is creating chlorine but when I install it back to the pump the Check cell light is still flashing. Do you know why that would be?

[@PoolCareWorld]

What’s the filter condition?

[@GregoryGuay]

We just replaced our filters, and cleaned the cell with 1/3 muriatic acid as usual but the Inspector Cell light is blinking. We ran the diagnostic and it says the cell is at 60% life. Everything else is looking good but seems this means it’s not producing chlorine. Although the diagnostic displayed 60% life used, this is our fourth year with the Cell. Any suggestions, please ?

What should be the chlorine reading be at the chlorinator when cycling? Mine makes bubbles but only reads 1ppm at the return into the pool.

[@PoolCareWorld]

Depends on size of generator and stabilizer levels do you know where stabilizer levels at?

[@adolfoquezada9898]

@PoolCareWorld its an IC15 and the stabilizer is at 87.

[@ScottMicale]

If i have all green lights on my cell but my chlorine levels are super low, like none at all could the cell be bad?

[@PoolCareWorld]

What’s the stabilizer in pool?

[@ScottMicale]

I looks low.

[@PoolCareWorld]

@@ScottMicale test it don’t guess it! But stabilizer should be around 70 Then put cell on 100 add enough chlorine to test 3-5 then see if your cell will maintain that level at 80-100% if it does dial back % till it’s happy

My add salt light is on red saying i need salt. I had water tested and salt level is fine. I did have low chorine after big rain so i put chorinator on 90% Chorline level is still low. Any ideas?

[@GregoryGuay]

Do you take your water to local pool supply for free test and recommendation? We add chlorine as needed not just rely on the pentair esp after big rain.
