I haven't had the best of luck when it comes to the longevity of my salt cells, but I noticed that Hayward sells a bypass pipe so I can remove the cell in the winter. When I received the pipe, I was surprised to see that the unions on both ends were included. Now with a small investment in some PVC fittings, I can make two cleaning stands! Just thought I would pass this along. Here is the Amazon link which includes a picture of the pipe:
