Well the cell was Packed full of stuff, had to clean it twice, never done in 3 years.
also made a huge mistak, PSA, if you take the salt cell out of the plumbing line make sure to put the system in service mode, I went to work with the salt cell to get a plug for cleaning, wife calls frantically as the pool level dropped 20” and water all over the deck. Well all back and running, I sort of needed to drain some water as my CH was getting high. Glad she called me or we would have drained the entire pool and burned up the pump.
