Cannon Ball

So Friday afternoon I see a pool guy parked on my street that services the neighbors pool. I asked him about the Jandy 1400 SWG. After talking a little he was kind enough to take a look at my system. He installed a cell and there was no change. We put my original cell back and he changed the sensor. Immediately we got different readings, or should I say we got actual readings. The salinity on my sensor read 3.6, his read 3.3, the water test at the local Mac's pool read 3.1. Needless to say I am waiting for the new sensor that I ordered, should be here Monday. The Pool guy was very cool in taking time out of his route to help. I offered to pay but he declined, but I will absolutely call him when and if the time comes that I need a professional. Thanks to all that replied. This is a great resource.

Thanks for the education. I have ordered a new sensor, and will let you know how that works. Do you have any info or know of any possible issues with natural stone around a pool causing high levels of phosphates?

Thank you for the info. I think that your right about the sensor. This morning I started to document the readouts of the unit. It seems to fluctuate between making chlorine and not (cell on and flow lights on or off). Currently it is making chlorine. I took a test reading at the return line and it reads 1.0 chlorine. Does the sensor control the cells ability to generate chlorine??

I have a Jandy AquaPure 1400 SWG that doesn't seem to be generating chlorine. I cleaned the cell even though it wasn't that dirty. After connecting the cell it started generating chlorine for a couple of hours. The Salinity gauge reads 3.5 and I took a sample to the local pool store and they tested the water at 3.1. The pool and the unit are 2 years old. I am getting a 172 and 186 code intermittently. The pool store want 115.00 to diagnose the problem. If it is the sensor and or cell I would rather purchase one myself and replace it, rather than pay them 115.00 to tell me that is what I need. Any comments would be appreciated.
