You have probably added too much salt. Your system is out of balance.

Why does my salt generator start up and quit after a few minutes showing low salt The salt is not low.?
spunk on ur meal for a new healthy taste .. says shannon flynn
Do you have to buy a salt chlorine generator to have a salt water pool?
Yes. The salt is run through a chlorinator that changes the salt to chlorine. It won't do it by itself so you have to buy the generator to do this.
Do you really need a salt water generator for your salt water pool?
Yes, as the generator creates the sanitizer for the pool, just throwing salt in it won't do anything
Will the salt in a salt water pool with a chlorine generator cause metal pipes to erode and eventually leak?
NO
How do you convert a fresh water hot tub to a salt water hot tub?
Although ordering the spa as a "salt water" hot tub when you buy it is easier, as there is some plumbing work required, you can retrofit either a bromine salt generator or chlorine salt generator and create your own "salt water spa".There is a misnomer about salt water hot tubs in that you still have to create the chemical chlorine or bromine in order to sanitize the water. Only with a salt generator this process happens automatically, but you must establish either a bromine salt reserve or a chlorine salt reserve depending on the system you are using.You will save the trip to the store for chlorine or bromine, but you still need to add the salt when you refill the spa or when you top up the water.To convert, the bromine salt cell is plumbed into the water line and the control unit is mounted to the spa. A hot tub tech can do this for you. Sometimes you may save by already having the salt generator and just having someone hook it up and add it to the plumbing.There is no switching. But you do have to install a chlorine generator. The generator makes the chlorine from the salt you add. But why go through all the hassles and expense?A better bet would be to use Bromine, it was developed for use in hot tubs. Besides at high temps. chlorine will vent off in a gas form and probably run you off.
How can you quit using bath salt?
Simply determine not to use it.
Can a pool with a salt generator be used in conjunction with a DE filter?
Yes
How does a saltwater pool stay clean?
Salt is used in conjunction with a chlorine generator in pools to create sanatizer. The salt (sodium chloride) is changed temporarilly to chlorine by the electrical charge in the "generator" it then acts as a sanatizer.
When I turn on my salt generator in my swimming pool it looks like a cloud shooting out of the returns foam is then on top of the pool if the generator is not on the foam clears why?
Foamy water can sometimes be an indication of too high pH !. Remember to check both the pH AND the Total Alkalinity.It may also be that scale has built up on your generator cell. Turn off the system, remove the cell by undoing the Unions at each end, and clean the cell according to manufacturers instructions.Check the salt level also. If too high, lower the water level and add fresh water to reduce the salt %.Good LuckGreg M Simmons C.P.O.gregs.cpo@gmail.com
You cannot get the salt level to come up in your swimming pool and the chlorine generator will not produce chlorine?
It sounds like the chlorine generator is broken
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.
Is the salt capable of producing electricity?
No. An individual substance does not produce electricity, You may be confused with the fact that a salt solution will carry electricity.
