Nice video. I am not sure if you attempted to clean the cell with diluted muriatic acid prior to replacing. Internal plates can get coated with calcium and minerals, and then cells does not work properly. With zero current flow, probably was a bad cell as you concluded but cleaning is always a good first step given the ridiculously high price of these things. Cheers
Per the Hayward manual it says that the flow switch is after the cell. With it after the cell you would know that all the flow it is picking up on has made it through the cell. If it waas before the cell and there was a leak then you would not be sure all the flow was truely going through your cell.
@DougLearn just checked Google, and sources say it can be before or after the cell, as long as there is 12 inches of straight pipe before the switch. The cell itself can count as part of the 12 inches.
Very informative! Looking at purchasing a salt system
I highly recommend a salt system. Thanks for checking out my video.

Yes cleaned it several times before replacing it. The pool people said that 7 years is a long life for one so I guess I got the good out of it.
Flow switch is supposed to be before the cell, not after.

@@JuanSanchez-tk4vr I would think it does not matter to much as long as there are no leaks between the switch and the cell.
