2 things,,scale can build up on the plates insulating the plates from the water making it less effective , and the plates can simply wear out from erosion caused by electrolysis

scale can be removed by washing the cell with a mixture of water and muratic acid.. if they have eroded past usable condition the cell needs to be replaced

What is pool cell?

Used for salt water pools, it uses salt to create chlorine... here is a more advanced answer.. from me. .. The chlorine generator (also known as salt cell, salt generator, salt chlorinator) uses electrolysis in the presence of dissolved salt (NaCl) to produce hypochlorous acid (HCIO) and sodium hypochlorite (NaClO), which are the sanitizing agents already commonly used in swimming pools. As such, a saltwater pool is not actually chlorine-free; it simply utilizes a chlorine generator instead of direct addition of chlorine.
