Durabasics Salt Cell Cleaner

Thank you for choosing Durabasics®. Salt cells naturally develop calcium scale and mineral buildup over time. Our non-acid maintenance formula is designed to help reduce buildup as part of your regular saltwater pool maintenance routine.

How to use this chart:
  • Initial Treatment (Existing Pools): Use when treating an existing saltwater pool for the first time.
  • Monthly Maintenance*: Recommended for pools with high calcium hardness or pools that develop calcium scale more quickly.
  • Routine Treatment: Repeat every 6 months as part of your regular maintenance schedule.
  • New or Remodeled Pool Startup: Use when filling a newly constructed or newly resurfaced pool for the first time.
  • For pools with high calcium hardness or recurring scale buildup, use the monthly maintenance dosage shown in the chart. Do not exceed the recommended amount.
*High calcium hardness means your pool water contains elevated calcium levels, which can cause scale to form more quickly.
2
Pour Into the Pool

With the circulation pump and filtration system running, slowly pour the recommended amount directly into the pool.

3
Let It Circulate

Continue running the circulation pump and filtration system after treatment to distribute the product and help manage loosened mineral deposits during normal pool operation.

4
Continue Routine Maintenance

Repeat treatment according to the dosage chart. Inspect the salt cell regularly and manually clean it when required by the salt chlorinator manufacturer.

Pro Tips
Use before heavy scale develops.
Keep the pump and filter running after treatment.
Inspect your salt cell every few months.
Pools with high calcium hardness may benefit from monthly maintenance.
Heavily scaled salt cells may require manual cleaning before starting a maintenance program.
6
What to Expect
This product is designed for routine maintenance, not as a heavy-duty acid descaler. Regular use helps manage calcium scale and mineral buildup over time. Heavily scaled salt cells may require manual cleaning before beginning a routine maintenance program. Results vary depending on water chemistry, calcium hardness, circulation, filtration, and maintenance practices.
