Hi, I wanted some opinions on Salt Systems and what a good alternative would be. I purchased a system 3 years ago...first year was great, second year started out great but half way through I started to experience issues where no matter how high i set it algae would form. I asked at a few pool places and finally was told the system likely was wearing out and I would need a new cell. I had major calcium build up on the cell. I could clean every week ad by the end of the week there was build up again. Year 3 was a disaster. I am deciding to go back to chlorine as I refuse to pay $600 (Canada) for a new cell if it is only going to last 2 years. So is there any system, treatment program out there that woudl help me limit the amount of Chlorine used?

Thanks
