Easy installation: Replacing your old cell with the Turbo 5 is quick and easy to maintain water quality.
To ensure the performance and longevity of your salt cell, visually inspect it every 1 to 3 months during the season to check for limescale deposits. If any buildup is visible, clean it gently with a suitable solution (according to the manufacturer's recommendations), without using metal tools that could damage the plates. Maintaining the correct salt level and chemical balance (pH, alkalinity, calcium) also helps reduce limescale buildup and extend the cell's lifespan.

To ensure that your salt system is functioning optimally, it is essential to clean the salt cell twice a year; in mid-season and at the end of the season when the pool is closed.
Be aware that the products used for this type of cleaning are very strong and acid-based. Protect yourself with gloves and glasses before opening the bottle. Also, do the cleaning on a surface that you won’t fear damaging or leave the cell in a bucket during soaking.
To do the cleaning, close the motor and valves that provide access to the water to the cell and remove the cell from the water line by unscrewing it. Then attach it to a soaking stand, which will allow you to hold the cell upright.
Before cleaning, rinse the salt cell using a garden hose with a very low flow rate to remove larger debris. You can then pour the product directly inside the cell and let it soak for about 30 minutes.
When the soaking time is over, you can put the product back in the bottle as it can be reused for the next time. Rinse the cell and reinstall it directly on the water line. It doesn’t matter which way you install it. Then open the valves and restart the motor.
If you forget to clean the cell, you may see a flashing light on your control panel that says, “Inspect Cell.” If all the other lights on the control panel are green, this is simply a reminder, not a diagnostic. It will flash every 500 hours of use. Once the cleaning is done; hold the button-down, the hour meter will automatically reset.
If you use a salt system to sanitize your pool, the water must be at about 65 F° for the cell to produce chlorine. At the beginning of the season, especially, when the pool water is still cold, ensure you always have chlorine in stock, including chlorinating granules to keep your water clean and sanitized.
When the water is warm enough, you can start your salt system and the chlorine production. To produce the right amount of chlorine, you need to add the right amount of salt to the pool.
So, what should you do at the beginning of the season? First, you need to know the amount of residual salt from the previous year. To do so, use a sterile container to bring a water sample to the store for testing. Knowing the volume of water or your pool size will help determine how many bags of salt you need.
To ensure optimal operation, it’s best to start the season with a clean cell. We recommend that you clean it at the end of the previous season. If you haven’t done so, you can do it with a cell cleaning stand and liquid cleaner.
When you are ready to produce chlorine, add your salt bags. It is very important to turn off your system and ensure it’s not on when you add the products to the pool. Before turning the salt system back on after adding the salt, you should wait at least 12 hours.
It will take an additional 12 hours before you can get an accurate reading of the amount of salt in the pool. At that point, the production will have started, and you’ll need to regularly monitor your chlorine level with a drop test or test strips as the production will need to be adjusted.
The small switch on the front of your salt system’s box works like a timer. For example, if you set it to 50%, the system will produce chlorine 50% of the time it’s running. So, if the chlorine level is too high, you’ll decrease the percentage of production a little bit, if it’s too low, you’ll increase it a bit to find the right recipe for an ideal level of chlorine during the whole season.
A salt water system control panel provides all sorts of information. Make sure you understand the basics so that you can do what is required.

Pour nettoyer la cellule, retirez-la et inspectez-la pour détecter l’accumulation de calcium. Si nécessaire, faites-la tremper dans une solution(Nettoyant spécifique). Laissez agir seulement quelques minute, rincez bien et réinstallez. Ne grattez jamais les plaques pour éviter de les endommager.
Pour démarrer une piscine au sel, commencez par équilibrer l’eau : pH entre 7,2–7,6, alcalinité entre 80–120 ppm et dureté calcique autour de 200–300 ppm. Ajoutez ensuite la quantité de sel recommandée selon le volume de la piscine, laissez la pompe tourner 24 heures pour bien dissoudre le sel, puis démarrez la cellule au niveau suggéré par le fabricant. Vérifiez que le taux de sel est dans la plage idéale, généralement entre 2 700 et 3 200 ppm ou 1200 et 1800 ppm.
After adding salt / cleaning the cell
Run the filter pump for 24 hours to allow the salt to distribute evenly… The salt level display may take up to 24 hours to update.
Allow approximately 24 hours for the salt to circulate and homogenize; the average salt display may take approximately 24 hours to update.
Update the “average salt” with the “instant salinity”
Set the main switch to Auto, then press Diagnostic until you see “-xxxx ppm” (Instant Salt).
When Instant Salt is displayed, switch the main switch from Auto to Super Chlorinate, then back to Auto.
Lower/drain according to the closing procedure, remove/drain the cell (or drain plugs), disconnect the power supply, store in a dry place.
Cell cleaning: If a "Low Flow/Check Cell" alarm appears or production drops, briefly soak the cell in a mild acidic solution and rinse thoroughly. Avoid prolonged acid baths (which can cause plate wear).
Monitor the flow rate (clean pre-filter, unclogged filter).
Aim for the manufacturer's recommendation (often 3,000–3,200 ppm).
Quick calculation:
kg of salt ≈ Volume (m³) × (ppm to add) / 1000.
Example: 50 m³, target 3,000 ppm, current water 500 ppm → delta 2,500 ppm → 50 × 2,500 / 1,000 = 125 kg of salt.
Add in portions, circulate for 24 hours, then test again.
Salt (NaCl) is dissolved in the pool (usually 1200-1800 or 2800-3400 ppm).
The electrolytic cell transforms salt into free chlorine, which disinfects the water, then reverts back to salt. The generation percentage is easily controlled with the small dial.
