Expert Salt System Diagnostics & Repair
A saltwater pool offers incredibly soft, clear water—until the chlorine generator stops working. When your pool starts turning cloudy or the control panel flashes warning lights, FixMyPool provides expert troubleshooting for all major salt systems, including Hayward AquaRite, Pentair IntelliChlor, and Jandy AquaPure across Tampa Bay.
Common Salt System Issues We Resolve:
- "No Flow" Errors: Your system won't generate chlorine if it doesn't sense water moving. We diagnose failed flow switches, clogged filters, or pump issues causing the error.
- False "Low Salt" Readings: If your panel says the salt is low but a manual test shows it's fine (around 3,200 ppm), the cell's internal sensor is likely failing or heavily calcified.
- Control Board Failures: Blank screens, erratic lights, or a system that won't power on at all often indicate a burnt thermistor, blown fuse, or failed motherboard in the power center.
- Heavy Calcification: We provide professional, diluted acid cleanings to safely remove stubborn calcium scale from the titanium plates without stripping their protective coating.
Our Diagnostic Approach
Salt system parts are too expensive to replace on a guess. During our $150 diagnostic visit, we test your water chemistry, inspect the cell for plate degradation, and use multimeters to test the voltage coming from your power center to isolate the exact point of failure. Your $150 diagnostic fee is credited toward any repair or replacement work.
Stop Calcium Scale Before It Starts
Salt systems naturally drive up pH, which leads to rapid, damaging calcium scaling inside the cell if left unchecked. To protect your equipment, consistent balancing is required. For homeowners in South Tampa and Westchase, our sister company, CleanMyPool, manages your salt cell and chemistry during every weekly visit.
