salt cell

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...

Coated Titanium Blade for Salt Cell Replacement

Hi there! Been reading all of the forums and went through "pool school" twice, but I'm at a little bit of a loss on what to do. ~15,000 Gal. Saltwater Pool Measurements: FW:1.2 Total Chlorine: .22 pH: 7.8 TA: 96 CH: 167 CYA: 5 Phosphates: 495 Salt: 1263 Water Temp: 62F Any thoughts on what...

I've read some other threads about this, but I'm not seeing an answer. Our Hayward SwimPure Plus began reading salt levels of only 400, then 200, then zero. Manually checking the salt it is around 3400. We checked the SWG which is 6 months old and it definitely needed cleaning. It is now all...

About a month ago noticed the lights on the Aqua Rite said to check cell. The cell was caked so I did the acid/water clean and put it back. The cell has never worked since (it's only 2-years old fwiw). Instead of troubleshooting, I bought a new cell and installed it. Seems fine for the first...

Hey folks, I want to clean my salt cell on my AquaPure 1400. Do they make plugs I can use to plug each end of the salt cell once I have the muriatic acid solution inside it? It would be nice if I could screw something onto the threads to cap each end to hold the solution inside. Thank you.

Is my salt cell done or do I need to change the settings? I turned it up to 100% and it runs 9am-9pm high speed 9-5. I don’t have chlorine. If I float chlorine tablets my pool stays clear. I believe my cell is out of life, it’s about 4-5 years old. First picture is as it running normally and 2nd...

I have a PS4 with a T-15 cell. Over the last 6 months, salt readings have been dropping. When pool and salt system starts, instant salt starts about 3600 (yes, my salt level is high at about 3900 ppm after committing the classic mistake of following the cell and not an independent test) and...

Hello, I have a customer with a hayward pro logic system with a T cell 3 on it. 2 days ago i got the notification that the salt level was very low and when i checked the system it read 600 ppm which is weird because we had no rain , fresh water wasn't added to the pool and the level last week...

Apparently my salt cell is going bad and reporting erroneous salt levels. Unfortunately, I added more salt before I realized the problem. The Taylor K-1766 test indicates 4200 ppm, Leslie's test was at 3689 ppm and the cell is reporting 1900. I have a new cell ordered (backorder), so I am...

I'm having my pool resurfaced (Diamond Brite). I was advised that I cant use my salt chlorinator for the first 28 days until the pH is leveled. The issue is I don't know if I can bypass my salt cell? My question is, if I just leave the cell in place with no salt in the pool do I run any risks...

I replaced my cell a couple of weeks ago with a brand new one. Right after I installed it, the K-1766 test (also a brand new replacement) indicated 2200 ppm, which was identical to the reading I was getting from the SWG. I shut it off, added 100 lbs. of salt, and 24 hours after turning my SWG...
