salt cell

My aftermarket 40,000 gallon ‘T-15 equivalent’ cell from Leslies finally fatigued its way to ineffective status after about 12,000 hours (3 years at 11hrs/day). I just replaced it with this other aftermarket see-thru version called Simple Cell from poolguysupply for $399 and it seems to be...

Have had a chlorine inground 20x40 Roman end 24000 gallon pool for many years and have decided to try the salt route. I am in New England so pool opens just before Memorial Day and closes just after Labor Day. When opening I typically dump 20 gallons of liquid shock, vacuum the next day and in...

I just moved into a home with a pool and want to add a salt cell to convert it to a salt system. I'm looking for suggestions/feedback on how to insert the cell given the short runs available to me. Basically my running theory is to go vertically up about a foot with two 45º elbows (or a gradual...

Did I ruin my salt cell? I have a Magan Resilience E40 swg. The salt cell comes with a plastic pitcher-type container to soak the salt cell in when cleaning it. So I put the pitcher out back on a stamped concrete patio, added full strength muriatic acid to the container, put in my salt cell and...

I got a new turbo T cell last year after the old one gave out. Everything was working well until a week ago. Omnilogic shows instant salt and average salt are both 0. I have a constant alarm that says chlorinator very low salt but I tested my salt with a salt test strip and confirmed with taylor...

Need help diagnosing 2 issues please! My Pentair Intelichlor ic40 salt cell lights won’t turn on. When the pump turns on or off, the lights will blip on for a second. The fuse in the power center is fine. The circuit breaker is fine. The green light in the power center is on. I would like any...

Hi all- My water chemistry has been stable (disregard the salt readings) and in good ranges but I noticed my pool getting cloudy over the past week. Salt Cell. Is this a chemistry issue or is there something wrong with my sand filter? I run the filter about 8 hours a day which keeps the FC...

I seem to be having trouble with my Salt cell. This is my 3rd summer with the new pool and haven’t had any problems with the Salt Cell up until now. I recently cleaned the cell, but that doesn’t seem to be the issue. I’m not very knowledgeable with the equipment, so I’m reaching out here to...

Hi All, I’m a new salt water pool owner and I have a couple questions that you guys can probably help me with. System: Hayward, including Omni PL Free Chlorine: I’ve been running my filter/chlorinator about 12 hours a day. My PPM levels are around 3500 but im getting a free chlorine reading...

We opened our pool on May 8th. Immediately we remembered that we needed a new cell and replaced our 7year old Hayward turbo cell T9 with a T15. Our pool is in good shape. Lab tested fine (and I just got a taylor K2006 on the mail today and I'm getting familiar). Pool has chlorine (can't...

I have a Pentair Ichlor 30 that is leaking near the flow switch. It looks like it is coming from the actual unit, not the flow switch. We have removed and replaced the flow switch, still leaking. The water is coming out from the unit, under the black piece to the left in the pic. I have...

Hello! I have an intellichlor i30. My chlorine level has been at 0, but my salt level is measuring within normal range when I test it at the pool store. When I tested the water last week, the tech had suggested adding stabilizer and running the pump all night with the chlorinator set at 100%...

Hello, I have a Hayward Aquarite goldline SWG that is reading 0. The salt levels are around 3,000 by a test. I do not hear a click when turning the SWG on. Is this the salt cell or main PBC?

Hello Just joined today and was recommended to post my chems in this forum. Anyway, I had my pool installed/first filled about 1 year ago (Oct-Nov '22 for sure). Just after it was installed we moved cross country (Dec '22) for work and then just came back here in Aug. As you can imagine nothing...

Hi all, as stated in the title I'm a new guy located in Phoenix, AZ. Specifically, West Valley, west of the White Tanks if this would help with diagnosis. Anyway, I had my pool installed/first filled about 1 year ago (Oct-Nov '22 for sure). Just after it was installed we moved cross country (Dec...

I noticed my pool this morning was starting turn green after being away on vacation. Checked the Hayward OmniLogic screen and my average salt reading is 65,486ppm and instant 65,475ppm (obviously both in accurate). My question is has anyone had this happen? If so did it indicate a bad cell or...

I had noticed that it seemed like my chlorine production was decreasing. It was summer and the outdoor temperature had been creeping up so I bumped up the duty cycle from 30% to 50%. I'm in coastal SoCal and I have a vinyl cover that is on most of the time so I get away with running only about...

Hi all! We had our pool built about four years ago and I just replaced my Jandy Truclear salt system. I was receiving a check cell error. And when I unscrewed the cell line from the power pack there were no pins left. They had corroded into the female end in the power pack. So I replaced...

Hello, I've recently gotten my pool from a total swamp state to clean water and I've been having an issue with my salt cell. At first it would warn of low amps (26V 2.8A). So I decided to clean the cell using water and muriatic acid according to instructions in the manual. I don't believe there...

I bought a salt cell at the end of season last year. 2023 summer installed new liner and cleaned/new sand in filter. Salt cell now displaying ‘check/inspect cell’. Hayward. Why? Set it on super chloration for 1 month at 30. 2nd month it is giving me issues… why? Once I found the chorine was...

I am looking for help in figuring out which salt cell is compatible with my system. I am (completely) a pool dummy. I have a Summer Waves pop-up type pool, 20’x48”, just under 10,000 gallons. I bought a Blue Works BLSC-20 chlorination system September of 2020 to use summer 2021. I think the cell...

This SaS has a cell that's 1 year old and has had regular cleaning, recently the Problem detected light has come on. Salt levels are right, all other pool chemicals are near perfect. The generating chlorine light will come on briefly after a reboot then goes away. No other lights flash or do...

Hello all. Added a bottle of Beautech to a pool in Indiana on 6/9/23. Water started to turn cloudy on Tuesday 6/13/23 and by Thursday 6/15 it was all the way cloudy, cant see bottom step. fiberglass pool cartridge filter I cleaned the filter on Tuesday, normal amount of debris came out. I...

Hey guys! First timer here! The classic scenario... bought a house with an inground pool, 2 years on everything was fine but nothing was really explained to me and I had to learn by myself. So I have a Pro Logic P4 with what seems to be a T15 but the owner told me it was a Low Salt system pool...

Hello, I have had my system for about 4 years now and just this week, my Hayward omnilogic system started to throw some errors like "T-cell Cable /Sensor Open Chlorinator 1" and "T-cell Voltage Sensor Short". I opened the ol girl up and found that the connection where the salt cell connects to...

Hey all, Just spent 3 days in a salt water pool resort. Normally I get eczema after a few hours in my pool. Takes a week to resolve. My skin is great after 3 solid days in multiple pools at this salt water resort. I’m curious if I can install a salt water cell for our pool. How does...

I have removed my RJ45+ salt cell and the cord that connects to the main unit and installed the dummy cell. The main unit says "Cell Connection" and I don't know how to turn off the unit. Is there anything else I need to do or does it just say "Cell Connection" all winter?

HotSprings hot tub doesn't register the salt level properly. It will show it's too high OR too low. i can't get it in the middle. Steps I took: Checked the water with the test strips and the water was too high Tested to make sure strips weren't expired and tested on tap water and the strips...

I just got a new salt cell and when I went to use it. the system started generating then the check salt and inspect cell lights come on and it won’t let me change the cell type it just stops at the Circuit board revision screen. I’m thinking it being the wrong cell is the problem why it’s not...

Hi all, It's been a while. My IC40 seems to have died (not producing chlorine). I tested by running her overnight and saw no increase in FC. This would be my 8th season with her so I've gotten my monies worth from her. Just want to check for suggestions before I toss her. The only error/alert...
