Why is my salt water hot tub not producing chlorine?
If you are struggling to keep your chlorine levels from dropping, it’s important to make sure pH and total alkalinity are in proper range. Also, check your filter. It should be rinsed every 30 days but if you have been using your hot tub more than usual, it might need to be cleaned sooner.
Why is my Pentair ic40 not producing chlorine?
The IC40 salt high LED started blinking and hasn’t stopped. This morning, the salt strips read 3760. I also bumped my CYA up to 60. I ran the filter and IC40 all night (after the CYA and salt additions yesterday), still no chlorine production. I guess my next step is calling Pentair.
What to do if your pool is not generating chlorine?
Raise FC up to 10, turn off the SWG and Pool School – Perform the Overnight FC Loss Test (OCLT). This will tell you if there is organic material consuming your chlorine. From my limited experience with my SWG and TFP this year, I too, have found that anytime my SWG can’t keep up, there is something organic in the water.
How often should I Turn Off the IC in my Pool?
(b.) and you can establish and maintain a FC level appropriate for your CYA level. Then turn the IC back on at 100%, and dial it down day by day until you stop raising FC and can maintain it at your desired level. You’ll probably end up adjusting it every other day or so if it is a stand alone unit.
How does the intellichlor ic40 pool chlorine generator work?
The simplest way to explain how the IntelliChlor IC40 works is as follows: Essentially, salt (sodium chloride) is added to your swimming pool water (less than a teaspoon of salt per gallon of pool water).
The IC40 salt high LED started blinking and hasn’t stopped. This morning, the salt strips read 3760. I also bumped my CYA up to 60. I ran the filter and IC40 all night (after the CYA and salt additions yesterday), still no chlorine production. I guess my next step is calling Pentair.
How often does the intellichlor ic40 reverse the electrode blades?
Every few hours, your IntelliChlor IC40 will automatically reverses the cell electrode blades to help clean the electrolytic cell. This process takes place behind the scenes and does not interfere with the production of chlorine.
When do the LEDs flash on the Pentair ic40?
The 3 salt levels LED’s Red, Yellow, and Green are designed to repeatedly flash for the about 2 minutes after every startup. Hence, wait for about 2½ minutes to allow the Pentair IC40 to properly sense the level of salt. After that, 1 of the 3 LED’s will be illuminated displaying salt level.
