If your saltwater system isn’t producing chlorine, we’ll get it working again—fast.
Salt chlorine generators are efficient, eco-friendly, and low-maintenance—but only when they’re functioning properly.
KT Pool specializes in diagnosing and repairing salt systems for homes, rentals, and commercial pools throughout the Sacramento area. We’ll check your salt levels, clean the system, and restore your water’s safety.
Signs Your Salt System Needs Repair
Salt systems often show early signs of failure, but they’re easy to miss. Look for:
- “Low Salt” or “No Flow” warnings on your control panel
- Cloudy water or rising algae despite your cell being clean
- Salt levels appear fine but chlorine still tests at zero
- White buildup or scale on the salt cell plates
- The generator won’t power on, or flashes error codes
If any of these issues appear, your salt system may not be sanitizing your pool—and it’s time to call KT Pool.
Common Salt System Issues We Fix
Salt systems include electronics, flow sensors, and fragile cell plates—all of which can fail over time. KT Pool fixes:
- Worn or corroded salt cells that no longer produce chlorine
- Sensor or flow switch problems that prevent system startup
- Power supply or control board failure
- Wiring issues and plug corrosion
- Scaling inside the cell that blocks chlorine production
We can often repair your system on the spot, or replace key parts without replacing the entire unit.
Our Salt System Repair Process
KT Pool follows a structured process to get your saltwater pool working again:
- Water Chemistry Test: Verifies salt level, pH, calcium, and chlorine output
- System Inspection: Checks salt cell plates, flow switch, sensors, and board status
- Manual Cell Cleaning: Removes scale buildup using safe descaling methods
- Component Testing: Diagnoses power, flow, and voltage consistency
- Panel Reset: Recalibrate and restart the controller
- Final Output Test: Confirm chlorine production resumes
We diagnose first, clean or fix next, and restore full functionality by the end of your service call.

Preventative Tips After Repair
To extend the life of your salt chlorine generator, follow these simple habits:
- Test water weekly to keep salt, pH, and calcium in range
- Clean the salt cell every 3 to 6 months—more often in hard water areas
- Schedule regular filter cleaning to improve flow and prevent buildup
- Check for early scaling around cell plates or metal fixtures
- Avoid over-salting—stay within the system’s recommended range
A little attention can save you hundreds on future repairs or replacements.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
How long does a salt cell last?
Most salt cells last 3–5 years. Heavy use, high calcium, and poor maintenance can shorten lifespan.
Can I use chlorine if the salt system fails?
Yes. You can manually dose with liquid or tablets until the system is repaired.
KT Pool will recommend temporary solutions if needed.
Will my pool turn green if the salt system stops working?
It can—especially in hot weather. Salt systems generate low-dose chlorine, so failures lead to fast algae growth.
Prompt repair avoids this.
What’s the cost to replace a salt system?
It depends on brand and model. Many repairs are possible without full replacement.
