OK - I've been looking after swimming pool for donkey's years ... no I'm not working illegally, I do it from time to time as a favour for friends.

Anyway, I can clean and maintain pools with my eyes shut - although I've just had one where a pipe connection spilt and the pump was submerged and another where the motor seized ... great recommendation

This is the first time that I've had to deal with a salt water pool. It is very sophisticated and everything is OK apart from a flashing light that says ... low salt or cell error.

I chucked in half of a 14kg (or was it 28kg) bag of salt and the light went out. The following day the light was flashing again. I threw in the other half bag and the light went out, only to come on again an hour later.

It cannot possibly be low salt, so it has to be a low cell error - and I have no idea what this is/means.

Mr Google hasn't been much help and the installer's premises are only open whilst I'm at work. If I have to, I'll phone them up but I hate talking on the phone in Spanish when I don't even know the vocabulary in English

It is different talking face to face because you can wave and point etc

Can anyone shed some light on a 'cell'

TIA
