A Pentair salt cell works by using electrolysis to convert dissolved salt in the pool water into chlorine, which sanitizes the water. As the water passes through the cell, an electric current splits the salt molecules, producing chlorine gas that dissolves in the water to kill bacteria and algae. This process continuously regenerates chlorine, reducing the need for manual chlorine addition.
