Salt Cell Not Working in Rainbow, CA
A Rainbow pool showing a salt system that stopped making chlorine usually has a short list of likely causes. Low or no chlorine from a salt pool usually means a scaled or worn cell, a low salt level, or cold water. Rainbow runs on Rainbow Municipal Water District at 14-18 gpg, which is very hard water. Around here that means severe mineral scaling on equipment from some of the region's hardest water, and it shows up in problems exactly like this one. A specialist in the Refresh Pool Pros network can diagnose it on site in Rainbow and quote the fix in writing before any work starts.
