I have replaced it once since putting system in . Now the cell seems to be replaced again. It's probably around 4 years old and does not give accurate salt content even though it is clean. My question is some have said my "board" needs to be newer than 2009 for new cells to work correctly.

I think I read about that sand on this form. Quikrete thought it may have been bad batch or mislabeled. Any way, other people had trouble with this sand. My only experience was using just once. I backwashed first for a long time. It was very cloudy. When I put on filter mode all seemed...
