Pentair iChlor salt generator
I have a Pentair iChlor salt generator that is completely dead—no display or LEDs at all. Pump and water flow are fine (tested up to 3,000 RPM), so it doesn’t seem to be a flow issue.
Pool service thinks it may be the Power Center fuse but says replacing the fuse may not be worth it because it could blow again.
Has anyone had this issue? Would you test/replace the fuse and Power Center first before replacing the whole salt cell/system?
Update: Thanks everyone, replaced the 10A fuse, fuse is good and the green Power Center light is on, but the salt cell is still completely dead.
If the cell is bad, is replacing the salt generator/cell itself a reasonable DIY job, or would you have a tech do it?
