Salt Cell Not Working in Kearny Mesa, CA
Low or no chlorine from a salt pool usually means a scaled or worn cell, a low salt level, or cold water. In Kearny Mesa, that is worth diagnosing before it turns into a bigger repair. Because Kearny Mesa pools contend with high-traffic multi-family and commercial pools wearing out equipment faster than residential use ever would, a technician here checks a slightly different list than one at the coast would. The pros we work with cover Kearny Mesa and can usually get out within the week.
