Troubleshooting Tips:
The below tips were written to help Pentair IntelliChlor owners save time trying to figure out the issue(s) with their salt cell and/or pool. Before you call or email Pentair for technical or warranty support, we suggest you do the following.
- Make sure the arrow for the "flow switch" is pointed in the same direction as the water returning to your pool.
- Test the pool to make sure it has the proper amount of salt.
- Test the chlorine level by taking a sample of water coming out the wall return closest to the salt cell while it is on. Then take a sample test away from the wall return.
- Compare readings. If you see a chlorine reading that’s higher from the wall return test water, then it's making chlorine, but the water is not holding the chlorine.
- Have the water tested professionally for CYA and phosphates.
- Refer to the Pentair trouble shooting tips.
If you feel you have a warranty issue, all of our manufacturers handle their warranties directly, including Pentair. Below is a link with warranty info and contact information.
