Auto Pilot low amp? PoolSean Please help!!

[Ciscokid]

Hi, Thanks for the post. I checked my salt level it is at 3600ppm. I removed and inspected the cell appears to be free of scaling and the outer blades appear ok. I power down the unit and removed and tested the fuse continuity. The fuse tested ok so I put everything back together. When I turned everything back on it started working again. The cell was at 27 volts and 4.7 amps. The next day when I looked it was back at 29 volts and .2 amps. I guess the cell is just dead. I will give autopilot a call today and see about getting a new cell. Thanks again for your help.

Have no idea about how these SWCGs are build but can you get directly to the cell and measure the voltage there? If the voltage there is up and current is still low then in my mind that would definitely point to the cell and not the electronics. With the right voltage on the cell the rest is just an electrochemical reaction. If it isn't easy to clip onto some terminal or connector somewhere, sometimes a couple needles, or the needle type multimeter probes themselves can be used to poke through the wire insulation, depending on the type of cable.

You can remove the top cover, but leave the wire harnesses on, and touch your multimeter probes to the inside of the banana jack connector.
Amperage can only be tested by removing one of the cell wires and putting your meter in line, with your meter in AMP DC mode.

This should be consistent with what the unit is showing for cell amps and volts, in the TEST POOL PILOT mode.
