      Service or Repair Issues
      Status:
      Unanswered
      I purchased a salt cell from the Salt Pool Store (SPS) on July 21, 2022. A key reason in my purchase decision was the 5 year warranty period. By March 2024 my salt cell stopped functioning. I contacted ********** and was instructed to take photos of the item and send both the photos and a current water analysis. I complied with these instructions. Then they sent me a link to fill out the warranty form. Once completed, they sent me a message stating I needed to send the cell in for repair. I had to purchase a bypass for my pool to remove the cell and mail it at my expense. I have also had to use liquid chlorine to keep my pool water clear during the period. The day before my cell was supposed to arrive at their facility, they send me an invoice for $267. I replied to their email asking bout the charge and received no response. I followed up with a live chat 5 days after they received my cell. The prorated warranty was explained in the live chat. I questioned the price quoted which was 76% of the purchase price, not the 30% stated in the warranty. I was told two other things, first my cell had been replaced and a tracking number was provided. Second to send a email regarding the pricing question. At 30%, I calculated my price should have been $105. That would have been acceptable to me, but the reply was the 30% is based on the ***** not the price they have consistently been selling the item for since the day I bought it. When I checked the tracking number from the chat, it was the number from when I sent the defective cell to the company. I have the transcripts from the chat available. I would not mind paying $105 to replace the unit, but I am not paying 76% of the original cost. If they won't send me a replacement cell for the 30% of the cost paid, I want my defective unit back. Their warranty is deceptive at best and may constitute fraud.

      Beware of this company. Their products are pro-rata warranties and unsupported. I purchased one of their generic salt cells for $308 after inquiring whether it was compatible with my Hayward Goldline control board. They of course said yes and of course it was not compatible. I didn't find out about this until 2 years after purchase when a pool repair service person pointed it out. Salt Pool Store asked me to send the cell back (I paid the shipping) "for diagnostic testing" and then sent me a bill for $240. They did not respond to any of my emails after I didn't pay the $240. Total scam.
