Inspect Salt Cell

[newbie919]

That message will come on every 30 days as a prompt to check the cell plates. You can remove the cell and physically inspect it. If you have some calcium scaling on it then try removing it with a wood or plastic tool. While Hayward says to use diluted acid to clean it that will remove some of the materials from the plates and shorten the cell life. If you must try something to dissolve it then a 10-1 vinegar solution would be better. If the plates are clean then just press and hold the selection button which will reset the warning for the next 30 days (maybe it's measured in hours of operations, I don't remember.)

what kind of a soak time with the vinegar? I do not want to use acid. my buddy does that with his new unit and I dont have his cash reserves

Soak time should be only long enough to remove the scale...if you decide to use vinegar.

Your CSI is consistently negative...I'd be surprised you have scale. Post up the amount of scale you have when you inspect.

Will do after a trip next week. Had no build up and then a week ago noticed some white. Will do a full clean. filter pump basket and cell.

Does not look too bad. Coming off easily with wood skewer. Never showed any signs till I raised calcium over fear of gas heater. First cleaning since install. Install 2023 summer.

That's sitting pretty not much of anything to worry about. Some vinegar will take care if it.

Thank You. It was pretty much clear till I added calcium because gas heater "needs it".
