Salt cells require occasional cleaning to remove calcium scale from the internal titanium plates. Inspect the cell visually once a season; if you see white calcium crusting, soak the cell in a dedicated cell cleaning solution to safely dissolve the buildup without damaging the plates.

• Winter Storage (Crucial for Canada): Salt cells cannot survive freezing Canadian winters! During your fall closing, unthread the cell unions and store the salt cell indoors in a warm garage or basement.
• The “Inspect Cell” Light Trick: On Hayward systems, the “Inspect Cell” light automatically flashes every 500 operating hours as a standard reminder. If your water chemistry is good and the cell is clean, simply press and hold the diagnostic button for 5 seconds to reset it!

Protect your investment! Pick up a bottle of Salt Cell Cleaner at our Oakville retail store or book our Pool Closing Service to ensure your cell is stored safely over the winter.
