I decided to inspect my salt cell when the inspect light came on. My understanding is that it comes on after a certain number of hours. This is my first season owning the pool, and I am not sure when the previous owner inspected/cleaned it. When I loosened the rings and took the cell out, water would not stop flowing. The pump was off and the filter was set to "closed". The cell looked fine (although I was in a bit of a panic not knowing what to do about all the water spewing out) and I eventually got it secured back between the two rings despite the water flow. What did I do wrong?
Inspected salt cell - water wouldn't stop flowing

The pump system is in another part of the yard...so it's a little hard to tell. But the salt cell is only about an inch off the ground. So it's possible that it's below the water level of the pool.
If it is a soft line, simply raising the line above the water level will stop it from siphoning.
