How do you test an Intellichlor salt cell?

Why is my IntelliChlor not producing chlorine?
High phosphates in the water, a chemical can be purchased at your local pool store or through us to remove higher than normal levels of phosphates. If the water is too cold below 70-65 degrees your chlorinator will not be able to produce chlorine even if your salt level is perfect.
What should IntelliChlor be set at?
What should the salt level be? The intellichlor is set to function when the salt level is between 2800 ppm and 4500 ppm. Too little, it cannot make chlorine. Too much salt and it also cannot (should not) make chlorine and can cause additional voltage issues with your pool and equipment.
How do I know if Intellichlor is working?
The easiest way to be certain if the chlorinator is working is to make sure the cell is clean by checking the needle or production lights on the chlorinator box. When operating, you should also see bubbles (hypochlorite gas) inside the chamber, producing what looks like cloudy water – that’s chlorine being created!
Why is my chlorine level so low?
You might have an infestation of algae, fungus or bacteria that can deplete normal chlorine levels and it is possible for this to occur without many visible signs. Your pool may appear to have a dusty look on the pool bottom. If you brush it and it clouds the water, then it is most likely a Mustard Algae.
Where is the fuse on the intellichlor ic40?
I have absolutely no power to my intellichlor ic40. Trouble shooting says to check the fuse located at the bottom of the power center. Mine is connected to a easy touch system.
Why does my Pentair intellichlor ic40 have no power?
If your Pentair Intellichlor IC40 or IC20 goes blank on you (no power) chances are it is just a blown fuse in the power unit. It is a very easy fix. All the salt systems have a fuse somewhere, the Intellichlor seem to blow more often then the other brands.
What should the voltage be on an ic40 pool?
The power center should generate about 35 VDC to 40 VDC… Check the power supply output from the power center going to the cell… If you have between 35 and 40 VDC, then the cell is bad. I know the board in your power center is different than mine, but you need to test between the Black and Red wires for the Voltage.

How long does an intellichlor Pentair ic40 last?
That means that the Pentair IC40 life is running out – limited life remaining. Under proper operation, the intellichlor should provide at least 10,000 hrs. of operation, which is 3-5 years of service. In many instances, you can extend the life if you monitor the level of chlorine properly and the salt and chemical balance level.
Why is the flow light on my Pentair ic40 red?
Flow Light is Red The light should be green under normal operations. That means that proper flow is passing via the cell. If the light is red, that means that there is insufficient flow via the cell for the right operation.
