Possible Causes

Dirty or scaled FreshWater salt cell cartridge, Low salt level, Incorrect output setting, Failed salt cell

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety: Turn off power before removing the salt cell.

  • Check salt level: Test and adjust salt concentration to the range specified by Caldera for your model.
  • Clean salt cell: Remove the FreshWater salt cell cartridge and soak it in a mild acid solution (per manufacturer instructions) to remove scale, then rinse thoroughly.
  • Adjust output: Increase the output setting on the control panel and run the spa for several hours, then retest sanitizer.
  • Replace cell: If sanitizer remains low despite proper salt level and cleaning, replace the salt cell cartridge.
