My TCELL940 (paired up with an Omni PL system) seems to be slowing down after nearly 5 years of operation. It was fine last season (operating at 20-25% trough the NE FL summer/fall) and kept the pool at 5ppm running at 5% with a pool cover Dec-Feb. But now that I've uncovered the pool, it looks like I need to keep it around 50% to maintain and that's with air temps in the 60-70s, salt at 3400, CYA at 60. I've cleaned it 3 days ago but it was pretty darn clean. So I'm assuming that we're approaching eol.
Anyway, should I try to get another 940 or should I switch over to the new S340? It's still unclear to me what the S3 line does differently than the old generation other than the fact that it looks "fancier" which I could care less about. Any suggestions? Thank you!
PS - out of curiosity, what happens to a salt cell if the salt level is slightly too high (eg 3600 which would be 200 over the recommended threshold)? It's not the case here but I've been in that situation before after adding a bunch of liquid chlorine which turned into salt after being used. The cell was still producing, but does it produce less?
