We handle both regular cleanings and emergency repairs quickly and efficiently to keep your pool in perfect shape year-round.

Signs Your Salt System Needs Repair or Cleaning
​
The first warning sign of a salt system issue is often the sound of your pump. If you hear:
​
-
Humming, vibrating, or unusual noises – Your system may be struggling to circulate water properly.
-
Cloudy or green water – A sign that your salt cell isn’t producing enough chlorine.
-
Inconsistent chlorine levels – Fluctuating sanitizer levels point to a worn-out or dirty salt cell.
-
Visible scale or corrosion – Salt cells naturally build up mineral deposits over time, reducing efficiency.
-
Error messages or warning lights – Many systems will display alerts when the salt cell needs attention.
​
If you notice any of these issues, don’t wait! Call Pink Flamingo Pool Company to diagnose and fix the problem before it gets worse.
