sc5.4 Posted July 21, 2010 Report Share Posted July 21, 2010 I think the volt readings at the board and cell were the same, even if the DC cord was unplugged from the cell. It would be nice to have a clamp style amp meter, and test parts to diagnois these for sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pool Clown Posted July 21, 2010 Report Share Posted July 21, 2010 The cell is about 5 yrs. old. I know the cell is at that critical replacement age. I'm at a point where I'm trying to decide if I neeed to throw money at this 1400 or start over with a new unit. All the components really add up. So far I only have a flow sensor into this 5 yr. old system. Only one flow sensor in 5 years? I think thats good. Replace the cell. If you're keeping the unit that is.

sc5.4 Posted July 21, 2010 Report Share Posted July 21, 2010 If cells didn't cost half the price of the entire system, would make it a little easier. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pool Clown Posted July 21, 2010 Report Share Posted July 21, 2010 I agree, it would make my selling to the customer easier too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
socaljoe Posted July 21, 2010 Report Share Posted July 21, 2010 I agree, it would make my selling to the customer easier too. Great forum and thanks for all the information. I am having a problem with my 4 year old aquapure 1400. It is not producing chlorine and the flow indicator does not light up. After it runs for 15 min or so, I get service codes of 171 and 186. My pool guy said it was probably the flow sensor and replaced it, however, the problem remains. He said it's probably the PCB front board as per the manual service codes. Is there a way to check the PCB front board to make sure that it's the problem? I don't want to pay $300 and find that there is something else wrong. Thank you so much for any help. I am a do it yourselfer, so I'm not afraid to take things apart, use a meter, etc. Joe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just ran a test on the front board and the temperatures were off by 2 degrees on both and salinity was off by .2 Does this mean the front board is bad? I'm not sure if it needs to be exactly what the manual states or within a few degrees, etc. Thanks for any help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pool Clown Posted July 22, 2010 Report Share Posted July 22, 2010 172 and 186 is a sensor failure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
