Easy Touch shows 0 PPM for salt & red light lite on unit but flow light is green. Will new flow which fix this?

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.

You're probably right, remove the salt cell and do a visual inspection of the flow switch in my case the silver metal strip was completely gone
1507464
Probably not. The flow switch has nothing to do with the PPM of salt. Take a salt test for the PPM of salt, then add salt to the pool until PPM is around 3400 PPM. this is optimal salt concentration for Intellichlor. The flow switch only indicates flow and allows the reactor plates in the unit to operate so it can make chlorine.
1507465
If this switch is faulty your intellichlor will not produce chlorine regardless of the amount of salt in the pool. First check for proper salt level 3000-3400 ppm (less and your chlorine generator will not work. More won't hurt but might rust ladders and grab bars.) Your water temperature must be 60 degrees, you must have adequate flow (rarely the problem). This unit wears out often, so more than likely this is the problem.

Yes, it may fix the problem if salt concentration reading is inaccurate. The switch also measures and conveys salt concentration along with being a flow switch. First, verify salt concentration is inaccurate by taking sample to pool store or buy test strips. Next, be sure the meter has no build-up internally (acid bath directions to clean found with internet search). In fact, the reason I replaced mine was because the salt reading was inaccurate (low by 1300 ppm and getting worse on a weekly basis). Note that the life of this (and the original) is only 1-2 years, at least for me. I have replaced mine twice. Yes, it may fix the problem if salt concentration reading is inaccurate.

If your water is cold you will get a low reading on salt. This has been my experience. From what I know the salt sensor measures conductivity. I believe it is the two nubs behind the flow switch toward the top of the unit. With the flow switch removed you can see them.

This doesn't sound like a flow switch problem. The first thing I do is remove the cell and clean it. Water first then after capping the end of the cell with black cap acid wash. Ten percent acid solution and don't wash any more than necessary. The best way to check salt level is with salt test strips.

No. If flow light is green, the switch is good. Test water with a salt meter or take a sample to a pool store and have it tested. Also be sure the chlorinator is clean, no calcium build up. Remember to never unplug or plug-in chlorinator when powered up. How old is your chlorinator? Salt level needs to be at least 3500 ppm.

It sounds more like a ground problem. Dash lights and turn signals use a different circuit. Make sure the connector for your dash is fully pressed in. These lights don't affect current flow just direction. If they are reverse polarity they won't illuminate they shouldn't cause any other issues. Good luck.

tried this today and when probes are not touching led reads O.L and when touched reads 0000.0

Check the electronic eye on top of the light. I had a similar problem and it was the electronic eye. I bought a replacement at Home Depot for a little under $10 and that took care of it. Hope you can figure it out!

Not sure why it isn't working other than you may have a bad unit. DO both units light up? If not, then it's bad. And I don't mean a good bad. I've had 3 of these so far since one got water in it but have had no other problems. Good luck!

Our LED flashes RED all the time and have never seen a Green LED. However using Light Boogie we did get the USB-DMX controller to work and control lamps - but not with FreeStyle. Using FTDi drivers with our own app have not been successful either even though the USB device is recognized. Since there is basically no support information that is available we can not recommend this product if you don't use the exact application stated.

I unfortunately, have not used my new unit enough to notice this, but will try to find a way to communicate if I experience this issue. Sorry!!!

Hello E. R.! My sincere regrets on hearing about the issue. A little more information about the actual state of the equipment would be very helpful in assisting. If there is not any backlighting apparent when turning on the unit, it could be a faulty contact under the "On" button or a blown fuse. Was anything spilled on the controller or have you ensured the quality of A/C coming from the wall? If you can, please provide more details on symptoms and what you have tried thus far in troubleshooting. Thanks, and best of luck! :)

Hi. This is what I would look at. I would start with checking your Fosmons' power adapter. Is it plugged in? Is it delivering 5 volts? Is the power light on the Fosmon lit and not dim? If so then you can check the Toslink cable on the Fosmon end. Is the red light coming through it? Did the Toslink cable seat down properly in both devices? They kindov pop when they are fully inserted.

I had the same problem, probably water going from top tank to the bottom one is not fast enough to fill water above the sensor. I was changing level a little bit (adding something very small under the Luma and found the best angle (very small change) and now is working without problems more than 1 year

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.

After using mine for about a month I also noticed the same thing and had this same question. It was like that right out of the box. After researching the manufacturers website about this product it became clear that the red light means a burnt out UV bulb. The bulb cost as much as the whole filter and was not available so I trashed the whole filter. This is clearly not a quality product. Check www.aa-aquarium.com and see what you can find out.

Mine has RED indicator lights also. I haven't used it often but it seems to work fine.

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

Rebecca, since I own a Kinivo 501BN Amazon asked me to assist you. Sounds like you have done the obvious. Since the unit is not lighting it is either defective or is not receiving electricity. First I would suspect electricity is not reaching it. Try unplugging the electrical wire from the outlet and the unit. The power supply may not be making contact to reach the unit. If after you plug it back in and the Kinivo still does not work don't fret. Contact Amazon and request a replacement. They are most understanding in these circumstances. I hope this is helpful.

The flow switch only tells your system when water is flowing. It can only fail in one of two ways. If it never switches on, your salt system will not work. If it stays on when no water is flowing, things could possibly get dangerous. Look at your "No Flow" light after the pump is running for a few minutes. It should turn off. Now, switch off the pump and the "No Flow" light should come on. If these two things happen, your flow switch is OK.

Sounds like a loose wire. I did have another brand of led side marker light that did that. After I tried everything I reversed polarity and it worked. Just a though if you haven't found the cause.
