The cell has worn out in my 25 year old salt chlorinator and I need to replace the cell.
I believe you can replace it with a generic model.
Has anyone on the forum had DIY experience in doing this?

In the end I found it easier to replace it with a new Zodiac EI. I got it at a pretty good price online - I think it cost less than I was quoted for a genuine replacement from Aquajoy. Re: replace cell in Aquajoy salt chlorinator 3Jan 04, 2012 11:04 am Thanks for your prompt reply, paulw11. the cost to replace the Aquajoy salt cell with a generic model is about $300 via online retailers. So I had better go and have a look at what it would cost to replace the whole chlorinator unit, eg with a Zodiac. I got the impression that there wouldn't be much change out of $1000. replace cell in Aquajoy salt chlorinator 4Jan 04, 2012 11:53 am I got mine here - http://poolandspawarehouse.com.au/sidebar/bargain-basement/zodiac-ei-25-salt-water-chlorinators.html A little under $600. I installed it myself without too much trouble. Depending on your current plumbing you might be able to install it without removing your old cell. In my case I didn't have an appropriate pipe to install it on, but it was pretty simple to cut off the old pipe and glue in a new length. You can get the pipe, fittings and cement at Bunnings. Paul Re: replace cell in Aquajoy salt chlorinator 5Jan 08, 2012 9:19 am thanks again, Paul. for your feedback on the Zodiac alternative. This brand seems to have a good reputation. I have successfully installed the generic Aquajoy chlorinator and it is working. It has solid metal plates instead of the open mesh plates of the original Aquajoy. I am assured that the solid plate format is easier to clean than the mesh. This seems obvious. But it also means much less surface area exposed for electrolysis. My experience in using this generic device for a few days is that it doesn't generate as much chlorine as the original Aquajoy mesh device in good working order. My cost was $240. I did get another quote under $220. I think I can live with the generic chlorinator. We are moving from this house in 12 months or so, so not keen to spend more than is strictly needed for the short term. I had put more salt into the pool with the old chlorinator to try to get some more chloring generation. The meter in the control box maxes out. The poolshop says I have 6000ppm, which is the max I think for low salt chlorinators. Poolshop said no harm using it with the meter maxing out. ok thanks - yes was wondering if that should have been listed as Option Three! 2 7755 Your house roof does not show rusting other than some surface rust on the flashings. In my opinion you dont need to replace or paint the roof other than treat surface rust… 1 10226 |
