guys i would like to check my chlorinator cell what voltage should it be at the + AND - terminals on the face plate ? when its running at 100% I have a reading of 6.25 V and the cable is warm
its a AUTO CHLOR AC 25T with 146 mm 7 plate cell on 40.000 lt pool

it just doesent get very much corrosion on the plates any more ? could that be just a lack of salt as i have cut the RAW salt in put to a bag a month
haven't had to clean the cell for 12 months before it was every month ? or is the sell tired ?
thanks

Do you get your chemicals checked at a pool shop once or twice a month, they should tell you if or not you need salt.

Alternatively take your cell down there and have them check it out electronically. but look out for them trying to sell
you a new OVERPRICED replacement. Online Direct Pool supplies has most model pool cells ;)

Most pool shops are able to test salt cells in store
