Clear the calcium scale and restore your pool's chlorine production safely.
If your salt system is flashing an "Inspect Cell" or "Clean Cell" light, your pool has likely stopped making chlorine. Over time, the chemical reaction inside the cell attracts hard white calcium flakes. When these flakes bridge the gap between the titanium plates, the system shuts down.
The plates inside your cell are coated in a rare metal called Ruthenium. If you pour straight muriatic acid into the cell, it will eat the coating and ruin a $600 part. We use a safely diluted 4:1 water-to-acid ratio to protect your equipment.
In Florida's hard water, a salt cell should be inspected and typically acid washed every 3 to 6 months. Regular cleaning extends the life of the cell by preventing the unit from overheating due to scale blockage.
Are you seeing white, snow-like flakes shooting out of your return jets? That is calcium breaking off from inside the salt cell. It is a clear warning sign that your cell is heavily scaled and needs to be cleaned immediately.
