I've been through a few salt cells but still on 1st panel. I'm told different from pb and poolstore but I mostly hear that panels last 7-10 yrs. We have fresh water, 4 mths or so. Clean salt cell 2 weeks ago. Looking at my pool from the house it had a green tinge. Dejavu. Walking up to it it looks fine. My next stop is the salt cell. Yep, the red light "inspect cell" AGAIN. We've had nothing but problems with the jacuzzi brand salt cell and Leslies giving us the run around. We bought it in October 2019 and they swapped our the first cell once even though some at Leslies said they can't test them but then when brining it in they tested it and said it's bad. Now, again, being told they can't test them but their guess is the chord is bad due to the message the panel gives (Chlorinator Off High Salt/Amp) and they suggested that most people by now just get a different panel, the Jacuzzi brand panel/cell. Pool Store said they stopped making the jacuzzi brand cell about a year ago and it's generic, but the Jacuzzi JSCS40 Salt System 40k Gallon is a great system and you don't have to add acid to clean it so it's supposed to last longer... Having to deal with chlorine and SLAMing my pool when this thing fails, if they truly go bad around 7-10 yrs, we're do and I'm thinking of buying new system but want to check in here to see if I'm not missing something simple. Te he next info I can have later is if it seems the pool seems it's creating chlorine or not as when I just checked the FC it was higher than I'd think. Last time something similar happened the panel said it was off but it seemed to still be creating chlorine as the FC was increasing without me adding anything. That's making it sound like a panel issue.
Any ideas and any feedback re jacuzzi brand salt system or if I'd want to try a different system? I really like that u can see inside the jacuzzi salt cell without taking it off.
