Rating readings, priced apart by frame
| Cell rating row | Frame A reading | Frame B reading |
|---|---|---|
| Rated to 15,000 gallons row | inside the $700-$1,100 cell band | inside the $600-$1,000 cell band |
| Rated to 25,000 gallons row | inside the $700-$1,100 cell band | inside the $600-$1,000 cell band |
| Rated to 40,000-plus gallons row | inside the $700-$1,100 cell band | inside the $600-$1,000 cell band |
Each reading is one frame counting of one rating row. Neither frame prints a separate band per rating: the rating rows stand inside the printed cell bands, never split by rating.
Component bands behind the rating rows, printed once
| Component line, as printed | Frame | 2026 reading |
|---|---|---|
| Replacement cell row, on a five-year life | Frame A | $700-$1,100 |
| Replacement cell row, second Angi read | Frame A | $200-$700 |
| Generator control board row | Frame A | $500-$900 |
| Salt chlorine generator cell row | Frame B | $600-$1,000 |
| Replacement read, average row | Frame B | averaging $800 |
The component bands are printed once here, shared by the rating rows -- the same component is never carried across the rating line as a second line.
Standing and retail readings behind the rating rows, printed once
| Standing line, as reported | 2026 reading |
|---|---|
| Standing conversion guide line, replacement cells row | $500-$900 |
| Hayward T-Cell-15 cell, rated to 40,000 gallons, retail part only row | $1,099 |
| Pentair IntelliChlor IC40 cell, retail part only row | $1,149 |
| Flow-sensor row | no row by that name printed |
The standing lines stand once, as on the hub, with the cell counted four ways across the frames. The frames count the same job on different bases -- an installed replacement band in Frame A (the cell at $700-$1,100) against a second installed read in Frame A (the cell at $200-$700) against the HomeGuide installed read in Frame B (the cell at $600-$1,000, a replacement read averaging $800) against the standing conversion guide ownership line (replacement cells at $500-$900) and the part-only retail reads (a Hayward T-Cell-15 cell listed at $1,099, a Pentair IntelliChlor IC40 cell at $1,149). The cell is counted four ways across the frames -- named as frame differences on every page, never averaged.
The neighbours named apart
Brand readings price apart on the companion guide. Named apart, never a row here: the standing saltwater pool conversion guide (converting a chlorine pool to salt, its own field -- this cluster carries no conversion guide of its own), the pool-equipment replacement hub (a whole-equipment ticket), the built pool pump repair cluster (item 1759, the pump circuit) and pool filter replacement cluster (item 1762), and whole-pool renovation tickets, each in its own lane.

Frequently asked questions
What does pool salt cell replacement cost by cell rating, as reported?
Frame A prices the cell at $700 to $1,100 across the rating rows, with a second read at $200 to $700. Frame B prices the cell at $600 to $1,000. Neither frame prints a separate band per rating.
What does the 40,000-plus gallon row print at, as reported?
The rating row stands inside the $700 to $1,100 Frame A band and the $600 to $1,000 Frame B band. The retail reads print the 40,000-gallon Hayward cell at $1,099 for the part alone.
What does the smallest rating row print at, as reported?
The 15,000-gallon row stands inside the same printed bands, at $700 to $1,100 in Frame A. No frame prints a smaller band for a smaller rating, and that absence stands.
Why is each component printed only once on this page?
The component lines belong to the replacement, not to a rating: the cell at $700 to $1,100 stands once, shared by the rating rows, so no component is carried across the rating line twice.
Is a rating row the same purchase as converting a pool to salt on the standing guide?
No. The standing saltwater pool conversion guide is its own field, named apart here, and this cluster carries no conversion guide of its own. Each rating row prices one replacement alone.
