Troubleshooting Salt Water Pool Problems — Salt Solutions

Common Salt water pool complaints include problems with pH-levels, low salt indicators, and inadequate chlorine. Basic salt water pool troubleshooting techniques include changing your maintenance schedule and checking your system.

•    Cleaning the pool of dirt and debris can avoid many problems, including low chlorine production.
•    Use a salt water pool test kit from a pool supply company to measure the salt in your pool. Add more water if the level is too high, or add salt if it is too low.
•    The salt water pool test kit can be used to measure for adequate levels of chlorine and stabilizer.
•    Check your control box and adjust settings to increase or decrease amounts of chemicals and salt released into the water.
•    If the pH level in your salt cell is high, put it into an acid solution to remove scale. Check the manufacturer’s instructions first.
