Jandy Salt System Reads "no Flow"

[loriwestman]

Ever since we opened our pool we have been trying to get the water clear and everything working properly. This is our 1st year opening it since it was new last year.

It is an above ground pool with a jandy salt system chlorine generator. ( I think that is what it is called). The jandy reads " no flow". This is the only reading since we have plugged it in. I have cleaned the cell which then looked better but didn't change reading. Our filter flow would deteriorate after a couple days. We lubed the lid to the motor pot. Our pool person suggested we were probably losing prime. Sounds good but reading still says " no flow". Been shocking the pool and added a lot of salt and a couple things here and there to try and clear up the pool. My last guess for the Jandy is the flow switch part. Does that sound right ? I don't mind replacing it but I'm hoping thats the issue then. When we took it apart to bring in for the winter the back plastic top seems to be snapped a little. Doesn't really look like it would have any effect on anything since the paddle still moves inside and all looks like its in tact where it matters.

Any ideas or tips I'd appreciate. We are frustrated and not really fond of the help from the pool place.
