if the flow switch is not working,does this affect the chlorinator?
1150634
Not directly. However, the chlorinatior will not be working because the board will see the flow switch not working and will not produce chlorine.
1150635
Yes. The flow switch turns on the coordinator when it senses water flowing through the pipe.

Yes, if the flow switch is not working your chlorinator will not work either. The flow switch sends a signal to your salt cell and tells it to turn on. The reason for this is so your chlorinator doesn't accidentally run and create chlorine while your pump is turned off. Replacing the flow switch is a really easy and fast fix, just make sure the arrows on the flow switch are pointed in the same direction as the flow of water. Easy peasy!

yes, The chlorinator will stop producing chlorine. Also when replacing make sure to remember correct direction of flow
1150638
Yes. The error lights flash and I think the salt level does not read. Before you do anything make sure your salt cell has been cleaned with a good acid wash and take it to your pool store for testing.

If the flow switch is not indicating water flow, the chlorinator should shut down to prevent its damage if there really is no water flowing to it.

The solenoid work best if you connect it to a timer. When the timer is ON, the solenoid will open as well - letting the Co2 pass through. When the timer is OFF, he solenoid will close stopping the flow. In my case I have it connected to the same timer that is running the lights, so when lights are on the bubbles start flowing, and they stop as soon as lights go off. It is not configurable, the power will make it open, lack of power will make it close. What you can configure or change is the flow rate.

there is a toggle type button on the backside that changes from spray to stream. my fixture is still working great...hope this helped

Yes, the timer will work even if fluids are absent. It automatically shuts off whether a flow is present or not.

Ryan...I do not know what your specific problem is, but, I would suggest you contact you contact Intellichlor technical staff for guidance. They diagnosed my flow problem over the phone...Don

No. The wet switch has to be manually reset after it comes in contact with water. Try something like this. Search amazon for HC8000 Sump Pump Controller (Float Switch)

Yes for the chlorinator to work all you have to do is add salt, however you still need to balance the Ph and Alkalinity

it sounds like you need a new salt chloronator. Green flow light shows you are getting flow through chloronator. Salt chloronators only last 3 - 5 years.

The panel is powered up automatically it only makes chlorine when the pump is running. So if the power went out and then came back on it would generate chlorine the next time the pump ran.

Send it back! It's so easy to use that you shouldn't have this problem at all. As long as there is water in the correct tank and you are hitting the trigger button, it should work. Double check that you set it up correctly and there isn't anything clogging it. Then send it back.

No! It is simply an on/off switch to the chlorine generator. If you twist the two wires together, the turbo cell stays on until "low salt" reading turns it off. If your turbo unit is being replaced yearly, I suspect scale buildup. Clean with HCL acid from Lowes in a plastic bucket per mfg instructions. Also recommend Salt Solutions in Tampa, Fl. For software upgrades and repair of your control board. Overnight FedEx last changeout for me $125. Sure beats $675 for a new board!

Not that I know of. I replaced mine per Pentair's suggestion that it doubled as the salt sensor. Not so. New switch did not fix the problem and I had to buy a new Chlorinator. My third one in five years. I got frustrated with the cleaning process and tried a pressure washer which blew out the flow switch. New switch did not help the salt reading fluctuations

Not sure mine works great is the water connected and flowing to the unit? Try changing the selector knob and trying it again good luck

As long as the flow rate of the pump is high enough to activate the flow switch in the water heater it will work.

If the light is on and the water flows through it, then it is functioning properly. You should check to see if there is no water in the glass bulb compartment.

From what I read the flow rate will diminish as the filter ends its life. I also think there is an alarm in the sysyem that warns you that you need a new filter. I haven't changed my filter yet but I bought a replacement so I have it when needed.

No. The on off switch is on the part that is lowered into the water. best way to stop flow is just to lift it out of the water- it doe not appear to be damaged if it runs w/out water in it for a little bit. My guess is that was no on/off switch at the top to increase reliability and reduce the cost of the device.
