What do Rancho Bernardo homeowners ask about salt water conversion?
Is salt water better than chlorine for my Rancho Bernardo pool?

How often does a salt cell need cleaning in Rancho Bernardo?
Every 3 to 6 months depending on water hardness. Hard water (Rancho Bernardo) cells need more frequent cleaning to keep output up.
