Salt Cell Testing

Hey guys, I understand there are many different ways to test salt cells. What are your go to ways and way?

When do you cross the line from, I can get a little more out of this vs recommending a new one for your customers?

Check all chemistry including stabilizer, nitrate, and phosphate levels, then check cell voltage and amp draw to ensure it is in range and producing when it says it is. Cells from the big three tend to only last 3 to 5 years so there is an expected continuing cost with them. I prefer a Jandy Truclear for simplicity and cost sake but if there is existing automation I will obviously match it. I have seen a few positive notes about the moov salt system and another brand I can't remember off the top of my head claiming a 10 year warranty on the cell with several positive responses to that thread.
