Have you ever stared at your salt cell and asked yourself “Is this thing really working?” Since the cell body is opaque, you really can’t tell just by looking at it. You have to be able to look at the cell plates while the unit is running.In this article, we describe a process for testing the cell operation, but it does require that you have a dummy cell, a spare that you can temporarily put in the plumbing in the place of the cell while you run this test.
If the salt cell does not bubble, then you either have no power to the cell or you have a bad cell. Further troubleshooting will be required.
