Salt Cell Secrets: Why Your Pool Might Be Acting Up

If your saltwater pool suddenly feels more like a science experiment than a sanctuary, your salt cell might be the culprit. Cloudy water, itchy skin, or that weird metallic smell? All signs your system’s struggling to keep up.

Salt cells are the unsung heroes of low-maintenance pools. They convert salt into chlorine, keeping your water clean without the harsh chemicals. But like any hardworking piece of equipment, they need regular TLC. Over time, calcium builds up, sensors wear out, and performance drops—leaving you with water that’s anything but spa-like.

At Image Pool Services, we specialize in salt cell cleaning, calibration, and replacement. We’ll inspect your system, remove buildup, and make sure your chlorine levels are right where they should be. And if your cell’s on its last leg, we’ll help you upgrade to a model that fits your pool and your budget.

The best part? A healthy salt system means fewer chemicals, less maintenance, and water that feels like silk. So if your pool’s been acting up, don’t reach for the shock treatment just yet. Let’s check the salt cell first.

Because your pool should feel like a retreat—not a chemistry lab.
