How do I clean a salt cell for a pool
A salt cell is an important part of a saltwater pool system. It is responsible for generating the chlorine that keeps the pool water clean and free of bacteria. Over time, the salt cell can become clogged with calcium and other minerals, which can reduce its efficiency. Cleaning the salt cell is a simple process that can be done in a few minutes.
Materials you will need:
- A bucket of water
- A soft cloth
- A muriatic acid solution (10-15%)
Instructions:
- Turn off the pool pump and filter.
- Remove the salt cell from the pool.
- Rinse the salt cell with water to remove any loose debris.
- Soak the salt cell in the muriatic acid solution for 15-20 minutes.
- Scrub the salt cell with a soft cloth to remove any remaining calcium or mineral deposits.
- Rinse the salt cell thoroughly with water.
- Reinstall the salt cell in the pool.

Additional tips:
- Clean the salt cell every 3-6 months, or more often if the pool water is heavily used.
- Do not use a wire brush or other abrasive material to clean the salt cell, as this can damage the coating.
- If the salt cell is heavily clogged, you may need to soak it in the muriatic acid solution for longer than 20 minutes.
