    Run, do not walk, as fast and as far away from that "pool professional" as you can! He will get you and your family sick.

    Instead, it sound like your SWCG needs repair. Are you sure your salt level in your pool water is correct? If it isn't, correct it. If it is, well, certain items on SWCGs do fail over time and need repair or replacement.

    Most likely your salt cell has failed and needs to be replaced. The average life of a salt cell is about 5 years. Run and do not walk away from the 'mineral' system!
