The Breeze 540 replacement cell is compatible with Saline Generating Systems Breeze 540 and 5-blade CMP salt chlorine generators The Breeze 540 salt cell is the factory original replacement cell model designed to easily drop in place and allow you to replace your old Breeze 540 cell in minutes. This cell is made to meet or exceed original factory specs and has 100% guaranteed compatibility.

Replacing the Breeze 540 cell will allow your salt chlorine generator to begin chlorinating again if your old Breeze 540 salt cell has been depleted. The Breeze 540 cell sanitizes your swimming pool in an eco-friendly and cost-efficient way, and also helps provide a luxurious swimming experience without the eye irritation and dry skin.

Sizing:

When replacing your Breeze 540 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 Breeze 540 is manufacturer rated for a maximum capacity of 40,000 gallons.

Compatibility:

This replacement salt cell for the Breeze 540 is 100% compatible with original systems (no software/firmware issues). The Breeze 540 cell has the same length, threading, and cable connection for direct replacement. Also compatible with older SG3000 systems

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.

General FAQ

How can I tell if my cell needs to be replaced?

If your salt cell needs to be replaced, you probably have a problem with low chlorine, but if your chlorine level is a problem then the cell is only one of several possible issues, notably including excessive chlorine demand. Essentially, you have either a system problem or a water problem.

System problems will generally reveal themselves with error messages or warning lights on the control module. The typical indications of the cell needing replacement will be one or both of the following: Low Salt warnings that are present with correct salinity and Check/Clean Cell warnings that display when the cell is verifiably clean.

Do I have to buy the same cell that came with it?

If you are referring to buying the same brand, there’s no question that the original OEM salt cell is exactly what your system was designed to use. However, commonly there are aftermarket replacement cells available which fit into place and operate quite satisfactorily. It is your prerogative to employ one of these aftermarket replacements if you are satisfied with the specifications, price warranty, and reported compatibility.

If you were asking about buying the same capacity cell, then OEM or aftermarket alike, you need to first determine whether your control or power module can accommodate a different size. Assuming you can change sizes, a larger cell is virtually always a good choice. However, in downsizing, make sure the smaller cell is still sufficiently large to maintain 1.5-2 times sizing of the cell relative to the pool’s volume.

These things are expensive and what fails is the seal around the electrode. Just keep the electrode clean they'll operate for years The new one work great.

Fair price, good service, working well

After the old cell wore out, I checked around for a new one in late May (2020) Ordered from Discount Salt Pool: service was prompt and product has worked well to date (one month). Pricing was fair when comparing to other sites. I would recommend purchasing this product and Discount Salt Pool as a provider.

Asked by: Mike - 3/31/2020

A: Yes, bigger is better so when a cell needs to be replaced its a good opportunity to upgrade.

Q: I currently have a Breeze 540 and I need to replace the cell. Can I upgrade the Cell to a 760 without changing the rest of the system?

Asked by: Scott - 6/3/2020

A: No, unfortunately a 760 model requires a control unit with a larger transformer inside.

Q: Only 2 plates that are connected to each other on my SGS Breeze 540 show calcium build-up and need to be manually cleaned frequently as if they no longer self-clean. The other 3 plates that are connected to each other appear non-functional because I'm not generating enough chlorine with only 40% functionality. Is this a sign of a bad cell, or is it a controller issue?

Asked by: Ron - 4/21/2021

A: If you are not getting a warning light or blinking power LED light on your control box, I would pretty safely assume the system is working normally. Based on my experience, it is common to see calcium on alternating sets of plates at times, and that doesn't indicate whether a system is or is not generating.

Q: My pool is approximately 17,800 gallons. Will a 3 cell breeze salt cell be enough to take care of chlorinating my pool?

Asked by: Kenny Bean - 9/13/2020

A: If you currently have a Breeze 540, I would not put a 320 cell on your pool - that's a pretty big downgrade and it would put you right at its max capacity. More power is better - your salt system will work less hard to keep the pool clean, last longer, and you can turn it up higher to knock out problems when you eventually need it.
