Stop buying liquid chlorine. We diagnose and repair failing salt cells, fix faulty control boards, and restore your pool's automatic chlorine production.


Salt Cell Repair Services in Peoria
Error Code Diagnostics
If your panel is flashing "Low Salt" or "Inspect Cell", we use diagnostic tools to determine if the issue is water chemistry, a dirty cell, or hardware failure.
Flow Switch Replacement
A broken flow switch will shut down chlorine production entirely to prevent the cell from exploding. We quickly replace faulty switches to restore operation.
Control Board Repair
Power surges can damage the main circuit board or blow fuses inside the control panel. We test electrical components and replace damaged boards safely.
Cord & Connection Fixes
Corrosion on the cell's power cord terminals can cause it to overheat and melt. We clean connections and replace damaged cords when possible.
Cell Replacement
When the titanium plates have lost their coating, the cell can no longer generate chlorine. We install high-quality replacement cells to get your system running.
System Calibration
After a repair or replacement, we recalibrate the system, ensure it is reading the correct salt levels, and program the output percentage for the current season.
Brands/Materials We Work With
We diagnose and repair all major salt chlorination systems, including Hayward (AquaRite), Pentair (IntelliChlor), Jandy (AquaPure), and AutoPilot. We understand the specific diagnostic menus and common failure points of each brand.
When a cell requires replacement, we use genuine OEM cells or high-quality, proven aftermarket cells that offer equal or better lifespans. We never install cheap, inferior cells that will fail after a single season in the Arizona heat.

How a Salt Cell Repair Visit Works
Water Testing
We start by independently testing your pool's actual salinity level. Often, the system is throwing an error simply because the water needs more salt, not because the equipment is broken.
Hardware Inspection
We inspect the cell for heavy calcium scaling, check the flow switch for proper operation, and examine the control board for burnt components or blown fuses.
Clear Written Quote
Once we locate the exact point of failure, we explain the issue and provide a free written quote for the repair or replacement, with no pressure to proceed.
Repair and Calibration
We replace the faulty parts, clean the connections, restart the system, and calibrate the control panel to ensure it is accurately reading salt and producing chlorine.
Warning Signs You Need Salt Cell Repair
- Low Salt Warning (When Salt is Fine)If you have tested the water and the salt level is correct (usually around 3200 ppm), but the panel says it is low, the cell is likely failing and unable to conduct electricity properly.
- No Flow IndicatorIf the "No Flow" light is on even when the pump is running at full speed, the flow switch is broken and is preventing the cell from turning on.
- Blank Control PanelA completely dead screen usually means a blown fuse or a fried transformer inside the control box, often the result of a power surge or lightning strike.
- Pool Keeps Turning GreenIf your pool water is constantly cloudy or green despite the salt system being turned on, it is not generating chlorine and needs professional diagnosis.
Repair vs Replace
Many salt system issues are simple, inexpensive repairs. A broken flow switch, a blown fuse, or heavy calcium scale can all be fixed easily to get your system back online. We will always pursue a repair if it makes financial sense.
However, the titanium plates inside the cell have a finite lifespan. Once the rare-earth coating wears off (usually after 3 to 7 years), the cell cannot be repaired and must be replaced. We provide a free written quote after seeing your situation, so you know exactly what is wrong and what it will take to fix it.

Salt Cell Repair FAQ
Why is my salt cell reporting low salt when the salt level is fine?
This is a common issue often caused by heavy calcium scale bridging the titanium plates, a failing flow switch, or the cell itself reaching the end of its lifespan and losing its ability to conduct electricity.
Can a salt cell actually be repaired, or does it have to be replaced?
If the issue is a faulty cord, a broken flow switch, or heavy scale buildup, it can be repaired or cleaned. However, if the ruthenium coating on the titanium plates has worn off, the cell must be replaced.
What does the 'Inspect Cell' light mean?
The 'Inspect Cell' light usually means the system has run for a predetermined number of hours (often 500) and is reminding you to check for calcium buildup. Sometimes it also indicates a genuine fault in chlorine production.
How long does a salt cell normally last?
A well-maintained salt cell typically lasts between 3 to 7 years. Keeping your calcium hardness and pH balanced is the best way to extend its life.
Why is my control board completely blank?
A blank control board usually points to a blown fuse, a tripped breaker, or a failed transformer inside the control panel, often caused by a power surge.
Do you install new salt chlorination systems?
Yes. If your current system is beyond repair, or if you want to convert a traditional chlorine pool to a salt water system, we provide full installation and programming.
