    My panel seems to be giving me incorrect salt levels. Is the K-1766 an accurate test for salt levels?

    Discolored vinyl

    Start-up was going well, except salt level was stuck 2300-2600, so cell wasn't generating. I was going by the level indicated by the SWG, which must have been malfunctioning. I was only adding salt one or two bags daily. I then added one lb of shock. Next day, the salt jumped to 4100 and the...
