LivinLOS Posted February 23, 2019 Share Posted February 23, 2019 My current house has a cheap fiber pool.. Despite being cheap, its been a real easy small pool.. One thing thats a negative is that its a Chlorine system. When it was installed, it was a salt system but didnt last and landlord turned it to chlorine. He tried to have to have it fixed but the installer was long gone, no one local could look at fixing the salt system only total replacement at quotes he wasnt going to pay, usual story.. Hes a bit older and possibly not that online savvy and probably didnt look into solving it with online research. Having a chat with him the other day hes amenable to turning it back to salt, if I can source the broken part. He believes the controller is fine and its chlorinator cell part (if thats the right term) which is dead. I figure maybe I can find it at a price thats tolerable for him, or even me pay some, worth a shot. Company was Seal Pool Equipment which had a facebook page up to about 2016. Looks like its history now and no response to my enquirys. Shame as I have been in this house since then and would have happily fixed it 3 years ago. Are these things only compatible to the controller they come with ?? Are these things repairable ?? Is there any budget way I might get this repaired without buying a whole new Salt system ??

Bagwain Posted February 24, 2019 Share Posted February 24, 2019 The 2 most common parts that fail are the internal board & the cell. The boards from China can't handle the constant humidity & the cells mostly low salt over a period of time. These system you are lucky to get 3 yrs out of them. Spare parts are usually over 1/2 price of a new machine & come with now warranty. The cells also should be clean of oil & body fat 6 monthly with detergent & then watered down acid. Doubt weather you will have any luck with the system (Picture) I only deal with PuraPool products now as they are 100% built in Australia, Australian components & are bullet proof. Arguably the best n the market. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So theres no 'generic' cell that can replace a gone cell ?? Or repair / rebuild of a cell thats bad ?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marketing ploy! 95 % of machines these days are Chinese! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
