A malfunctioning Pentair salt cell won’t properly maintain your saltwater pool's chlorine levels, water quality, and overall performance. Signs that your cell may be bad include low chlorine output, algae growth, error lights, or your pool looks cloudy.

Here are some things to check before replacing your Pentair salt cell:

1. Independently test your salt level and ensure it's within the appropriate range for your system.
2. Clean your salt cell to remove any buildup or debris that may be interfering with its performance.
3. Check that your salt cell's cable is properly connected and free of damage or wear.
4. Make sure your salt cell is filled with water and your pool pump is operating properly. Ensure there's no air trapped inside the cell.
5. If your water temperature is above 60 degrees, it may trigger a low or no salt warning.
6. Make sure your salt cell is on the correct setting for your specific Pentair model.

It's important to check these items before replacing your cell, as they could be the source of any issues you're experiencing. If you've checked these things and are still having problems, then it may be time to consider a replacement salt cell.
