Your saltwater pool depends on a clean and functioning salt cell to keep the water clear and comfortable. At Net Positive Pools of Charleston, we provide salt cell cleaning services that remove buildup, restore chlorine production, and help your salt system work the way it was designed to. If your pool water has been cloudy, if your salt system is showing warnings, or if the water just doesn’t look the way it should, our team is here to help.
The salt cell is what converts salt into chlorine to keep your pool clean. Over time, calcium and scale build up on the cell plates, reducing chlorine output and making your salt system work harder. Keeping the cell clean helps your pool stay clear by breaking down the calcium and scale that block chlorine production.
By clearing the buildup with a simple acid solution, your system can get back to producing the chlorine your pool needs. This means clearer water, less algae, and less strain on your equipment.
Schedule a cell cleaning if you notice:
Most saltwater pools need salt cell cleaning every few months, depending on water conditions, salt level, and how often the pool is used.
Net Positive Pools began with a focus on friendly service, reliable work, and strong communication. That same approach guides our Charleston team today. We focus on doing the job correctly and helping you understand your pool’s system, so you feel confident in its care.
Along with salt cell cleaning, we offer weekly maintenance plans, pool equipment repair and upgrades, heater installation and maintenance, automation, and system optimization.
We look at your entire pool setup, not just the salt cell. If your pool pump, mineral chlorinator, water flow, or filtration setup needs attention, we address it so everything works together. Contact us today and get your pool sparkling and clean again!
No. Salt cell cleaning is performed on the equipment itself, not in your pool water. The cell is removed, cleaned with an acid solution off-site or in a separate container, rinsed thoroughly, and reinstalled. You can use your pool the same day, and there’s no downtime or waiting period for swimmers.
Yes, cleaning your salt cell too frequently can actually wear down the metal plates faster and shorten its lifespan. The acid used in cleaning is effective but also slightly abrasive to the cell’s coating. That’s why we recommend cleaning only when you notice performance issues or buildup, typically every 3 to 6 months.
A dirty cell shows white calcium deposits but the plates are still intact and structurally sound. Cleaning restores full function. A failing cell may have flaking, pitting, or eroded plates that won’t hold their shape, and cleaning won’t fix that. If your cell is more than 3 to 5 years old and cleaning doesn’t restore chlorine output, it may be time for a replacement. We’ll inspect your cell during service and let you know if it’s still worth maintaining or if replacement is the better investment.
You anticipate your pool's water to be sparkling clear, signifying a setting that appears to be germ-free. But dirty water can produce a dangerous environment for your family and friends, leading to major health issues.
