I know a lot of people use muriatic acid for cleaning salt cells and im guessing it does a good job but I have also read that it reduces the life of your cell. I was wondering if anyone have tried dipping overnight in citric acid? Thats what people use to clean prosumer and commercial coffee machine copper or stainless steel boilers and it works very well.

I guess you can try it. More importantly is managing your water chemistry so you never need to clean the scale from the SWCG.
I use my garden hose with a high pressure stream. I have used white vinegar in the past. I think the key here is get your pool back into specs, especially your CSI, and get it “clean enough” to take care of itself.
