Time to replace the cell?

[Charlie]

I have the same setup as you, and my cell is ~5 years old. I noticed this year that I've had to add liquid chlorine to keep it above 3 ppm. Since I had very good luck with the cell, I'll probably get an exact replacement. Mine says on the side that they offer a $75 trade in for the old one, so I"m assuming that a new one costs just under $500?

Actually, I searched more carefully, and there are places that sell the original part for around $400, and in addition there is a $50 trade-in rebate, so I am leaning towards the original part now.
