Thanks so much for this video! I was able to change out the switch in just a few minutes and did not need to remove the unit itself.
Glad it helped
Thanks! This was very helpful. If you find you have a four wire switch or unit and a three wire version of the other, just combine the green wire with the black wire and join that to the corresponding black wire. It works just fine.
Glad it was helpful!

What connectors do I buy? Have an old good flow switch. Thanks :)
Where can you get the part, the flow sensor??
If you install the new switch before cutting and reconnecting the wires you will not have them all tangled up. Why didn't you explain in detail the reason for replacing the salt cell flow switch?
How do you determine if it is bad?
Great video. Can you replace an IC20 with a IC40?
Yes they are the exact same size and they both use the same power center. You can even use the IC30 as long as you use the extension that comes with it, making it the same length as the IC20 and IC40 and IC60. All the cells use the same power center
@@craigwooster6646 how about the ic15? It says it is used for above ground pools but I don't see why you cannot use it for in ground pools up to 19k in size?
If the cell shows 80% used can acid cleaning or replacing what you did extend the life, or do I have to replace the cell with a new one?
Changing the flow switch will not extend the life of the cell. It is more cost effective to replace the cell when 80% used than to replace the flow switch.
why would you pull the cell??? unnecessary! also. why cut the wires from the cell so short? what happens if you have to replace the flow switch again, now you're cutting the wires back again...
I did because it’s 110° outside. I can do it in the house
Any thoughts on why my salt cell will NOT increase percentage, its stuck on 20%.. 1 green light is all that's illuminated
Do you have it connected to a Pentair phone app? If so, you may need to control the % through the phone app rather than through the buttons.
Please fix the focus next time.
Do you actually need to remove the cell? I thought it would be OK to just remove the flow switch.
Absolutely
Hey, I have a question about my intellichlor ic40. It was running fine last time I checked it but now it's showing a solid red light on the cold water. Could the flow sensor be the cause? This cell is about 8 years old
If it's just a red light on the Cold Water and no other lights are on, the cell won't make chlorine when temps are cold.
When water warms back up it will start producing again.
@@Maverick4841 Mine is doing that and the pool is 84 degrees. I'm in fl. it does not get cold but that cold water light is solid red. Flow switch bad?
@@nwartdealer It very well could be a flow switch Bob, for maybe less than $100.00 bucks you could try a new flow switch. However, if the cell is 5 years old or older you might just put that money towards a new cell.
There's no reason to remove the salt cell.
The pentair switch is wayyyy too expensive
Why did you remove the cell from the system? You just waisted your time! Its designed to replace the flow / temp sensor without removing the unit from the plumbing! WOW that’s next level stupid esp for an educational video... you know they make video editing software lol
Your name suits you well. You know you can give advice without sounding like a complete dick! Wow!
