Salt Cell Manual Mapping
Map the installed salt-cell family to the correct manual, salt range, cleaning trigger, and diagnostics before you trust any generic SWG advice.
Identify the cell and controller family
The label on the housing matters more than the label in the forum thread.
Open the right manual set
Use the manual library before you change salt, clean the cell, or reset faults.
Use family-specific salt and cleaning guidance
Salt targets and cleaning triggers vary by family and sometimes by controller revision.
Read polarity, flow, and fault behavior correctly
A low output or fault light is not always a low-salt problem.
Escalate when the cell is not the real problem
A cell can be the messenger while flow, temperature, scaling, or age are the real issue.
