Astralpool Smart Chlorinator Replacement Parts
Replacement Parts for the Salt Chlorinator Astralpool Smart: Cells, Tanks, and Genuine Parts
The SmartAstralpool r is one of the most widely installed salt chlorinators in Spanish residential pools. Launched in 2009 with a blue control panel, updated in 2012 with a black control panel, and sold through 2018, it remains in operation in thousands of pools across the country, and its replacement parts are still readily available through Astralpool (Fluidra Group) and its authorized distributors.
The main and most commonly replaced part is the electrolysis cell (electrode), which has a service life of 3 to 5 years depending on usage and maintenance of the equipment. The other components (housing, gaskets, flow switch, locking nut, contact cover) are parts that are replaced on an as-needed basis and are rarely replaced before the cell itself.
At Quimipool, you’ll find original Astralpool replacement parts for the entire Smart family: Smart, Smart+, Smart+ pH, and equivalents based on production capacity. The electrodes are also compatible with Smart Next models up to 32 g/h and Elite models up to 32 g/h, which expands your options if your unit has been upgraded.
Also check out the complete catalog of salt chlorinators, the related section on salt chlorinator replacement parts, or contact our technical support if you need to identify the exact part number based on your unit’s model and chlorine output: When it comes to electrolysis replacement parts, choosing the correct cell is essential because each model uses a specific electrode based on its chlorine output in g/h.

Genuine replacement parts for the Smart Astralpool
The Smart replacement parts catalog is organized into three categories based on replacement frequency: consumables (cell, tank, and O-ring), mechanical parts (nuts, caps, brackets), and electronic components/sensors (flow switch, fuse holder, pH probe).
Consumables: periodic replacement
| Replacement Part | Description | Confirmed compatibility |
|---|---|---|
| Cell / electrode | Main component of the chlorinator. Generates chlorine through electrolysis of the salt in the water. Available in three sizes depending on production capacity. | Smart / Smart+ / Smart+ pH / Smart Next up to 32 g/h / Elite up to 32 g/h, provided the output matches |
| Cell Housing | Outer housing that holds the electrode. It is replaced when it shows cracks, deformations, or leaks. | Smart / Smart+ / Smart+ pH / Smart Next up to 32 g/h / Elite up to 32 g/h |
| Sealing O-ring | Sealing gasket for the cell housing. A common cause of leaks in the cell: replace preventively every 3–4 years. | Smart / Smart+ / Smart+ pH / Smart Next up to 32 g/h / Elite up to 32 g/h |
Mechanical parts: replacement due to wear
| Replacement part | Description | Confirmed compatibility |
|---|---|---|
| Electrode locking nut | Secures the electrode to the cell. May deteriorate due to chlorine and hard water. | Smart / Smart+ / Smart+ pH / Smart Next up to 32 g/h / Elite up to 32 g/h |
| Contact protection cap | Protects the electrode’s electrical terminals from moisture and corrosion. | Smart / Smart+ / Smart+ pH / Smart Next up to 32 g/h / Elite up to 32 g/h |
| Electrode bracket | Mounting bracket for the electrode on the piping in the machine room. | Smart / Smart+ / Smart+ pH / Smart Next up to 32 g/h / Elite up to 32 g/h |
| Electrode anchoring kit | Complete electrode mounting kit. | Compatible with multiple models: Astralpool and Zodiac. See complete list |
Electronics and Sensors
| Replacement | Description | Compatibility confirmed |
|---|---|---|
| Fuse holder | Holds the fuse that protects the electronic circuit. | Compatible with multiple models Astralpool, and Zodiac |
| Flow Switch | Flow sensor. Prevents the chlorinator from operating without water circulation (critical cell protection). | Smart. Consult the technical team if the model has any special features |
| pH Probe (Smart+ pH) | Exclusive to the Smart+ pH model. Measures pH in real time and triggers automatic acid dosing. | Smart+ pH only |
Important note regarding returns: Cells are consumable replacement parts. Once installed—even for testing purposes— they cannot be returned. Before placing your order, verify the exact model of your chlorinator and its chlorine output in g/h. If you have any questions, contact technical support or use the contact form.
When to Replace the Cell in the Smart Astralpool
The cell is the component in the chlorinator with a limited service life. Here are the four signs that indicate it needs to be replaced:
- The chlorinator is showing a low-output error: the unit is operating at 100% but is unable to maintain chlorine at the recommended levels
- Water quality is progressively deteriorating: algae growth or cloudy water despite the chlorinator being operational
- Visual inspection of the electrode: visible wear on the titanium plates (reduced thickness, erosion of the edges, or peeling of the active ruthenium layer)
- The unit has accumulated many hours of use: the approximate service life of the cell is 3–5 years or the equivalent of 3.000-5.000 effective operating hours, depending on maintenance
How to extend the service life of the cell
- Maintain the pH within the optimal range (7.2–7.4) using an automatic pH control panel or a dedicated dosing pump
- Annual acid cleaning: Wash the electrode at least once a year with an acid cleaner specifically designed for electrolysis cells
- Remove the cell during winter storage: when the water temperature drops below 15 °C, remove and store the electrode in a dry place
- Monitor the salt concentration: 4–6 g/l is optimal. If outside this range, the system compensates by increasing the current, which accelerates wear and tear
Astralpool vs. Generic Replacement Parts
Four reasons to always choose original replacement parts:
- Guaranteed compatibility: The original cell is specifically calibrated for the Smart chlorinator’s electronics. A generic cell may have slightly different operating voltages that reduce efficiency or damage the circuit board
- Certified materials: The titanium and ruthenium active layer of the original electrodes meet the manufacturer’s specifications. Inferior materials degrade sooner and can contaminate the water
- Manufacturer’s warranty: Genuine replacement parts include the official warranty at Astralpool. Generic parts, if they cause equipment failure, may void the chlorinator’s warranty
- Official technical support: If a problem arises after installing an original replacement part, Astralpool and authorized distributors such as Quimipool can provide support. With a generic part, no support network is available
How to Identify the Correct Replacement Part
To ensure you order the correct cell, you’ll need two pieces of information found on the unit’s label:
- Exact chlorinator model (Smart, Smart+, Smart+ pH…): found on the label on the back or bottom of the unit
- Chlorine output in g/h (6, 12, 24, 32…): also on the label. This is the specification that determines the cell size
If you can’t access the label or have any questions, take a photo of the unit and the serial number and send it to us via the contact form. We’ll confirm the exact part number with no obligation before you place your order.
Not sure which replacement part you need for your Astralpool Smart? Replacement parts for salt chlorinators are specific to each model and chlorine output. Before placing your order, verify the exact model of your unit (Smart, Smart+, or Smart+ pH) and its output capacity in g/h. If you have any questions, our technical team can help you identify the correct replacement part with no obligation: call us at 91 128 55 90 or contact us via the contact form by sending a photo of the unit and its serial number.
