What a salt pool still needs
- Regular cleaning, the same as any pool
- Water testing, including chlorine and pH
- Salt readings where the system calls for them
- Cell inspection and cleaning on the manufacturer's schedule
- Attention to system alerts
Care vs. repair
Cleaning and testing are routine service. Repairing or replacing the salt cell, control board or wiring is equipment work for a licensed pool/spa contractor or electrician. See pool cleaning vs. repair in Florida.
Use your system's manufacturer manual for settings and salt levels. Don't change controls without verified readings.
