Potential problems that can occur that are unrelated to salt cells are: harsh sunlight and low CYA levels, faulty filter, low pH, high phosphate levels, and water temperature below 50 degrees.Signs of a potential problem with your salt cell include: Check Salt message displays even though salt levels are fine, Cell Warning light displays constantly, voltage is higher than normal, amperage is irregular, and the SCG isn’t producing chlorine.The salt cell is a part of a salt chlorinator that converts the dissolved salt into chlorine with a low-level electrical charge.Here’s how to check salt cell function, replace it when damaged, and otherwise keep it in tip-top shape. Ideally, a salt cell will last for about five years, but problems can occur, and issues aren’t always easy to spot. One key element of keeping your saltwater system properly working is monitoring your Salt Chlorine Generator (SCG) cell. However, minimal maintenance doesn’t mean no maintenance at all.
Saltwater pools continue to grow in popularity in no small part due to their minimal maintenance needs.
