Salt Level Status LEDs
The IECG salt level checks the pool water daily and displays the levels as
follows:
• Green LED: Good salt. The pool water salt level is between 3000
ppm and 4200, and the IECG is producing chlorine.
Flashing green LED: Salt level is above 4200 ppm. Chlorine is being
produced but the salt level is too high which increases the risk of
corrosion and deterioration of pool equipment and surfaces in and
around the pool. Pool water needs to be drained and refilled one (1)
foot at a time until the salt level is lowered to 3000-4200 ppm.
• Yellow LED: Check salt. The pool water salt level is between 2500
ppm and 2950 ppm. The salt level should be independently checked
and salt added to the pool water if necessary to obtain a salt level of
3000 - 3500 ppm. The cell will continue to produce chlorine but will
be at a reduced level. If this Check Salt LED is flashing with the Cell
LED, it indicates both that the pool water salt level needs to be
checked, adding salt if necessary, and if necessary the IECG needs
to be inspected and cleaned.
• Red: Very low salt. The water salt level has fallen below 2500 ppm.
The IECG will not produce chlorine until additional salt is added. The
IECG is OFF.
Status LEDs
Pwr: Shows the IntelliChlor Electronic Chlorine Generator power status:
• Red: The IECG is OFF and an error is occurring in the IECG. Service
is needed.
• Green: The IECG is operational and ready.
Cell: Shows the status of the IECG.
• Red: Water temperature is below 52° F, ±3° F (11° C, ±1.67° C), the
IECG is shut off to extend blade life. Chlorine is not being produced.
• Green (flashing): The IECG needs to be inspected. The blades may
have calcium buildup. The IECG is not producing chlorine. If the Cell
green LED is flashing with the Check Salt LED, it indicates the salt
level in the pool needs to be checked, adding if necessary, and the
IECG needs to be inspected and cleaned if necessary.
• Green: IECG is good and producing chlorine
• No Light: IECG is off and not producing chlorine. It may be in an
off-period of the sanitizing cycle and will return on shortly.
Note: If the Cell green LED is flashing with the Check Salt LED, it indicates
the salt level in the pool needs to be checked, adding if necessary, and the cell needs to be inspected and
cleaned if necessary.
Life: The IECG is designed to produce chlorine for approximately 10,000 hours of proper use (approximately five
(5) years of average use) before replacement is needed.
• Green (flash): The IECG has over 8,000 hours of use, replace soon.
• Green: The IECG is under 8,000 hours of use. The IECG is good.
Flow: This light indicates the status of water flowing through the IECG.
• Red: Insufficient water flow through the IECG, no chlorine is being produced.
• Green: Sufficient water flow to produce chlorine.
