My salt generator settings have been pretty consistent year to year for 5 years. The max setting needed to generate the required chlorine has been 40% in the middle of the summer. Hayward T-15, 8500 gal. This year I was at 55% by the end of April. I have never cleaned the cell or even looked inside so I was hoping that it had calcium build up that was inhibiting chlorine generation. Took it off, it’s as clean as a whistle inside. The only other reason the generation rate would be down is because it’s on the way out right? Seems like 5 years is pretty short lived though considering how easy it’s been run. Anything else I can look at that might be the cause?
