salt cell

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...

I am with American Home Shield and called them when my filter cracked. They sent a vendor out who modified the plumbing to where the backwash outlet is now facing the opposite direction (towards electrical outlets) and mis-threaded the salt cell. I want to know how difficult is it to change...

Good evening, all. Brand new owner of a 20,000 gallon salt water pool, here! Very excited and also a bit frustrated as I added 360 pounds of the recommended approximate 550 pounds of salt this afternoon just to try out my IC40 Pentair Intellichlor SWCG to find out that it won’t work for my 52...

This summer, my 16K gallon pool began consuming salt at a higher than usual rate (+30-50%). Added a bag of salt each time the panel reading got to 2800 or less. I now have concerns about the reliability of the system salt reading. The cell is older (>10 years), but it usually runs clean. I...

I found that there is no temperature reading while in pool mode, so the salt cell will not produce chlorine. I put the pool in spa mode and it works. To get the cell to work, I have to run in spa mode with the actuater switches on my valves reversed to make it think it is in spa mode. I spoke...

Hi everyone! New to the site and new to pools. My husband and I just purchased a new home which has a 30 year old salt water pool (cement bottom and fiberglass walls). We decided to attempt to open the pool for summer ourselves because the pool companies in our area are booked until July. We...

My salt cell stopped working and after investigating, the port where it plugs in is burnt all the way to the motherboard. Just wondering if anyone has encountered this and on

Just got this in at our office and I cant seem to figure out why there is no power to it. Customer said it WAS working the day before and now nothing

Hi everyone! Another new kid in town over here. I have a large salt water pool in Florida, and I’m worried about keeping up with algae this summer. The water is already 82 degrees. I’m not sure how warm pools typically get in Fl, but I’m worried that the heat coupled with frequent rain in the...

The control panel for my salt water pool system had a check cell message so I took my Hayward TurboCell T-Cell-15 to the local pool store to test. They told me it failed the test and to replace it would cost $900. I nearly fell over. Then they told me that I could convert my saltwater system...

Hello all, I’m new here to the site but not to pools. Grew up with a chlorine above ground pool, bought a house 5 years ago with a 25,000 gallon in ground pool that I converted to salt a couple years ago. Today I had to add 25 pounds of calcium chloride to increase my calcium hardness. Since...

So this happened. Not really sure where to begin troubleshooting. Maybe start with replacing the power cord?
