Important: Autopilot recommends that the cell connector cord be replaced when the salt cell is replaced, in order to ensure warranty coverage. See related products below.

Sizing:

When replacing your Autopilot salt cell, take this opportunity to make sure it is sized correctly. Sizing your salt cell properly is key to making sure you will not need to supplement with additional chlorine or shock your pool, and also extends the lifespan of your cell.The industry recommends using a salt cell with a max capacity of 1.5-2 times the actual size of your pool (more is better). The PPC-1 is manufacturer rated for a maximum capacity of 40,000 gallons. Note (If used with the Digital Nano+ the max capacity is 28,000 gallons.)

Compatibility:

This replacement salt cell for the Autopilot Pool Pilot Digital is 100% compatible with original systems (no software/firmware issues). The PPC-1 cell has the same length, threading, and cable connection for direct replacement. This 5-blade salt cell is the replacement for older systems previously named Autopilot RC-35/22, SC-36, and AP-36.

To get the most life out of your salt cell and to keep your pool running without unexpected interruptions, make sure it is sized correctly, maintain correct water balance, and be sure and inspect your cell at least every 3 months for leaks, debris, and calcium scale. Be sure to follow instructions in the product manual and clean the cell as often as the system indicates.

Q: How long is this cell expected to last and how do I know when to replace?

Asked by: Travis - 6/10/2017

A: The lifespan is dependent on use, and on average Autopilot cells probably have a range of 3-5 years. Your control box will typically have errors that indicate it is time to replace your cell, especially if you have confirmed you do have the correct salt level in the water and your cell is clean.

Q: Can i replace my RC-28 cell (PPC2) with the RC-35/22 (PPC1)?

Asked by: Ken - 9/10/2017

A: If you have an Autopilot Digital Nano, the PPC1 is the same as the old RC-35/22 (for 22,000 gallons with a Nano control box). The PPC2 is the same as the old RC-28, which is a more powerful cell and is used with the Digital Nano+ control box, so you wouldn't want to downgrade to the PPC1 if you use the PPC2 on a Digital Nano+.

Q: The system constantly is saying that required to be clean. I remove the cell multiple times to clean an still see the same message?

Asked by: Be.nny - 3/19/2018

A: Typically with a salt system, if you are still getting any kind of "clean cell" or "low salt message", and you DO actually have a clean cell, good salt level, full water flow, tight cable connections, and basically everything else is right, that is what you will see when the cell itself needs to be replaced.

Q: Hi I keep getting low amps about 1.5 it should be 5 to 4.5 it's clean.when I force a reverse it goes to normal amps then goes but to low I keep the hole filter pump and slat system in a shed. Please help don't know what else to do?

Asked by: Steve - 6/28/2017

A: Just to start, double check that you have enough salt in your water, that you have a fully clean cell, that the water flow is completely filling your cell, and that your cell cord is getting a tight clean connection. If that checks out, give us a call and we can help you further.

Q: What causes the cell blades to corrode?

Asked by: Gary - 1/5/2019

A: Just want to clarify what you are seeing. All salt calls will everyday build up with mineral scaling that needs to be cleaned off. If however that's more frequently than once every 6-12 weeks, that's usually an indication of an abnormally high "saturation index", which can get balanced and fixed. If by corrosion you happen to mean you *erosion*, and you're seeing damaged or eaten-away areas of your cell, that's usually a low saturation index, which can also be balanced and prevented. Do a web search of "pool saturation index" for more information.
