Hi all,
I purchased a home last year with a rapidly failing hayward T-15 salt cell.
Pretty typically, I think, The salt reading was increasingly inaccurate. I kept adding salt to allow the generator to think it wasn't low, when in actuality it was high. This worked for about a year. Now though my salt level read 0 no matter what I do. The cell is clean. Looking down in the cell it looks fine, no visible corrosion.
Being the technical/mechanical type I started researching information on repairing a salt cell. I found a post on this forum that a couple of years ago had all of the pictures I was looking for regarding the disassembly of a Hayward T15. It's a really odd thing about these cells. If you google for pictures of a hayward cell cut open or disassembled they are essentially not available. It strikes me as very odd given how expensive they are to replace. In fact I can't find a single picture of a disassembled t-15. How strange is that.
So my question/request is that if anyone has the pictures to this original thread.

I'd love to see them, or if anyone has disassembled a cell and took pictures that would be great to.
Lastly if anyone has successfully repaired a cell I'd love to hear about your experiences.
