Is $1,850 to replace pool salt cell and cable a fair price?

Project Details

I've seen my chlorine levels dropping slowly after 6 years of having our pool. I'm also getting an orange "service" light and codes 125,194 on the box. It sounded like a salt cell issue, and I had a pool company confirm this. I've cleaned the cell, but never replaced it yet so it makes sense. The guy says they are required to install a new cable from the box to the new cell, and the total is $1850 for everything. This sounds really high. I found an OEM cell for $750, but do I also need to replace the cable for another $200?

Replace a Jandy AquaPure salt system cell

The quote is for replacing the existing Jandy AquaPure salt system cell. The pool guy indicated this would fix error codes 125 and 194, though the system later reverted to code 120. The homeowner is unsure if this will be a lasting fix.
