Salt system
Honest about the salt cell. It had one more acid wash in it, so that is what they did. When it did need replacing a year later, the quote came in writing first.

Salt system repair in Winter Park
Cells, boards and salt levels checked, with an honest answer when the cell is at the end of its life.
Signs you need it
When to call about salt systems
Panel says fine, pool says green
The cell is producing less than the panel shows.
White crust on the plates
Scale insulates the plates; it washes off.
You keep adding salt
Salt raises salinity, not sanitizer.
How we do it
The honest version of salt systems
A cell wears out, and that’s normal
Plates have a service life measured in thousands of hours. A cell at the end of its life reads correctly and produces badly. We check the hours and inspect the plates rather than adding salt to a cell that can’t use it.
Scale is the other half
Calcium builds on the plates and insulates them. It comes off in an acid bath: a service, not a part. A company that sells you a cell without first inspecting the plates hasn’t looked.
Salt is not the same as chlorine
Adding salt raises salinity, not sanitizer. If the pool is low on chlorine, the answer is the cell’s output, the run time, or the stabilizer holding it back.
Step by step
What happens on the visit
Read the hours and output
From the control, not a guess.
Inspect the plates
Scale, wear or both.
Acid wash if scaled
A service, not a part.
Replace only if worn
Quoted in writing first.
What it costs
What decides the price
No surprise lines. Every job is quoted in writing, and nothing is done until you reply.
What we look at
- Cleaning a scaled cell
- Replacing a worn cell, quoted first
- Control board faults, diagnosed before any part
How you’re quoted
In writing, with the reading or the pressure that made us recommend it. Approve all of it, some of it, or none of it.
We’ll tell you when a cell has one more acid wash in it rather than sell you one early.

Weekly service
Luis has been on our pool every Thursday for two years. The report is on my phone before his truck is out of the driveway, and I finally understand why the chlorine kept vanishing: stabilizer was at 90. They told me to drain a foot instead of selling me more shock.

Straight answers
Salt systems: questions
Do I need a salt system?
A salt pool is still a chlorine pool: the cell makes the chlorine on site instead of you carrying it. It’s genuinely less handling. It isn’t less maintenance, and the cell is a wear part.
How long does a salt cell last?
Thousands of hours of run time; how many years depends on your run schedule and how well the water is balanced. We read the hours rather than guess.
Why is my salt pool green?
Usually the cell is under-producing (worn or scaled), the run time is too short, or the stabilizer is holding the chlorine back.
