Salt cells are an important part of saltwater pools. They generate chlorine, which helps to keep the pool water clean and free of bacteria. Over time, salt cells can become coated with calcium and other minerals, which can reduce their effectiveness. Cleaning the salt cell regularly is important to keep it working properly and to extend its lifespan.
There are a few different ways to clean a salt cell. One method is to use a commercial salt cell cleaner. These cleaners are typically acidic and will help to dissolve the calcium and other minerals that have built up on the salt cell. Another method is to use a vinegar solution. Vinegar is also acidic and will help to dissolve the minerals. To use this method, simply mix equal parts vinegar and water in a bucket. Then, submerge the salt cell in the solution and let it soak for several hours. Once the salt cell has soaked, use a brush to scrub away any remaining minerals.
