Frequently Asked Questions

Q: How does Poolife™ Cell Protect work?
A: It helps prevent calcium and other minerals from forming scale on salt cell plates, which can interfere with chlorine production and reduce equipment lifespan.

Q: Can I use Cell Protect in non-saltwater pools?
A: While designed for saltwater systems, it can also help protect pool components from scale and corrosion in traditional pools.

Q: How soon should I add it after opening my pool?
A: Use the startup dose at pool opening and continue weekly for ongoing protection and clarity.

Q: Do I still need to clean my salt cell manually if I use Cell Protect?
A: Yes, but less frequently. Poolife™ Cell Protect helps reduce buildup, extending time between manual cleanings and making the process easier when needed.

Q: Can I use this product with a cartridge or DE filter system?
A: Absolutely. While it’s designed to protect salt cells, Cell Protect also helps safeguard filters, heaters and other components from scale and corrosion.

Q: Will Cell Protect interfere with my pool’s chlorine levels or chemistry?
A: No. It’s acid-free and designed to support chlorine generation without altering pH, alkalinity or sanitizer levels.

Q: How soon after adding Cell Protect can I swim?
A: You can resume swimming once the product is fully dispersed — typically after a few hours of normal circulation.
