To ensure proper communication between your control box and your salt water cells, make sure to replace your salt water chlorinator cables at the first sign of fraying or damage. Shop chlorinator cables for the most popular Australian brands such as Astral, Zodiac, Water TechniX and More!
Salt water chlorinator cables carry the current that’s regulated by the chlorinator’s PCB board to the salt water cells. Over time, these can become frayed, loose, or even damaged by critters (don’t laugh, it has happened before!)
The lifetime salt water chlorinator cables run anywhere from 4 to 6 years, which is roughly the length as your salt water chlorinator cells. It is good practice to replace your cables at the same time as you replace your salt water cells.
My salt water chlorinator cables look fine, why should I replace them?
If you’re lucky, a damaged salt water chlorinator cable can only mean a loss of connection between the control box and your salt cell. If you’re unlucky, then a damaged cable can lead to a short which may damage your entire system causing you hundreds, if not thousands of dollars for repair and replacements!
Tip: If you get a “Check salt cell” error on a fairly new or recently replaced salt cell, then the likely culprit would be a damaged salt water chlorinator cable.
