Just had a new Hayward salt chlorinator and Hayward heater installed. Opened pool on Friday. All clear and water looked good. % read 20%. And salt was at 3100. Temp was at 57 degrees. Today got up to 60 so I turned on the heater. % shot up to 65% and I ran it for about ten minutes and the whole time white stuff was coming out of jets. As soon as I turned it off, it stopped.

I know someone else had this issue years ago but didn’t post what the end result was. Any ideas ?
 
Welcome to TFP!
Cloudy looking or actual particles? Cloudy water is tiny hydrogen gas bubbles from the SWCG. Warmer water allows the SWCG to work or work better. Most shutoff somewhere between 50 and 60. You can verify by shutting the SWCG off while the heater is running.

If it’s particles, check your calcium level.
 
Yea. It’s just cloudy. That makes sense because I noticed the % was at 20. The , I guess when the water heated up it caused it to go to the “desired level”. So then should I expect that hydrogen gas bubbles/cloudiness to come out whenever it runs?
