Cleaning a Salt Cell

Keeping your salt cell clean is essential for maintaining an efficient and long-lasting saltwater pool system. Over time, calcium and mineral deposits can build up on the salt cell plates. This reduces their ability to make chlorine effectively. Regular cleaning ensures proper sanitation and helps avoid strain on your system.

Neglecting maintenance can lead to expensive repairs and can shorten the life of the chlorine generator. Although it might appear overwhelming initially, tidying up your cell isn't as terrible as it appears.

EZ Pools provides cell cleaning kits to make this process easier. You can follow our guide on cleaning a Pentair IntelliChlor Cell here. The process is similar for Hayward, Jandy, and other brands

Frequently Asked Questions for Salt Chlorine Generators

Below, you’ll find answers to some frequently asked questions about salt cells. If you have any further inquiries or need additional details, please don’t hesitate to contact us.

How long does a pool salt cell last?

On average, a pool salt cell will last between 3 to 7 years. The exact lifespan depends on factors such as usage frequency, water chemistry balance, and regular maintenance. Proper cleaning and ensuring the pool’s pH, alkalinity, and calcium levels are within recommended ranges can help extend the life of your salt cell.

Should I remove my salt cell for the winter?

When winter approaches and temperatures drop, it’s essential to consider the condition of your salt cell. In areas prone to freezing, removing your salt cell for the winter is advisable. This precaution helps prevent damage caused by ice and expanding water. Properly winterizing your pool includes gently detaching the cell, cleaning it, and storing it in a dry, safe place. To further protect your investment, consider using dummy cell placeholders like Hayward's T-CELL Dummy Salt Cell or Pentair's IntelliChlor Dummy Placeholder Cell. These devices can be installed during winterization or when starting up your pool in spring, safeguarding your salt cell from harsh chemical conditions that could arise.

What does “no flow” mean on a salt cell?
A “no flow” error typically indicates that there isn’t enough water moving through the salt cell for it to operate properly. Common causes include a dirty or clogged filter, a closed or partially closed valve, a malfunctioning pump, or low water levels in the pool. Begin troubleshooting by checking your pool pump, filter, and water level to ensure proper circulation before inspecting the cell itself.
