The filter is in good working condition however the unit is sun exposed and in a salt environment (getting beat on both ends of its life cycle) therefore maintaining the filter o-ring and painting this fiberglass shell ($150) may help extend the life of this filter from 5 years to 20+ years.

The salt system shows on and powering, however, there is no chlorine production. Either the ph is too high to inhibit chlorine production or the salt cell is not reading the water properly, and since this cell is under 3 years old the cell is also under warranty. Recommend testing salt level and confirming proper level for chlorine production and adding one gallon of chlorine to possibly "jump start" this cell into operation (**common issue**) $125 Service Call to diagnose further
