No. A salt system makes chlorine from salt, so the pool is still chlorinated, just more steadily and gently. How often should the salt cell be cleaned? Typically every few months, and more often in hard water areas like DFW. Why does my salt system say low salt? Salt can be low from splash out and rain, or the sensor may be dirty or failing. Does salt damage pool equipment? Properly balanced salt pools are safe for modern equipment, though some natural stone may need sealing. How long do salt cells last? Many last three to seven years depending on use, chemistry and cleaning. ## Ready for a crystal clear pool? Tell us about your pool and we will get back to you fast with a free quote.
