Re: Pool Pilot Digital 220 unit - Warning Low Amps - Cell? and Bad Temp Sense
Yes, all is correct. Last year due to the conditions in our area we did use boost more frequetly than in the prior years. I am aware that the life of the cell is limited but wasn't sure how many years I should expect to get from normal use. Having looked around on the internet for others with the same issue, and finding all sorts of reason that the unit may not be functioning, I didn't want to just order up a cell without exploring/investigating all the possibilities.
I also have a church friend whose neighbor uses the same system and was getting similar (not sure if it was exact) messages and it turned out he had three bad diodes on a control board. Once he had the board repaired all was well. Again, I dont know if he had any Voltage or Amperage reading, just that he had the same warning message.
It does appear that my issue may just simply be the cell is at end of life and I need a new one. Just trying to cover all the bases.
So your recommendation would be to purchase a replacement cell? Appreciate your time and feedback.
