Salt cell means the thing with the lights on it that you took a picture of. Is there a model number on it?
Picture #6 is the salt water chlorine generator (SWG) cell. As the salty water passes through that cell, it applies electricty and breaks the salt up to provide FC. Does anyone every check the salt level?
You would need to add the FAS-DPD chlroine test to that kit to have the equivalent to one of the recommended test kits.
Report back on the SWG cell ... and tell us what all the lights are ... rarely is a Red light a good thing

The K-2005 isn't a bad kit, it just doesn't have the FAS-DPD test. You can add just the FAS-DPD test.
If you learn to use it correctly it will help us figure out what needs to be done.

The picture of the IC40 shows that the low led salt light is on (first red led from left to right), that the swg is not producing because the flow is too low (second red led form left to right), and it is set for 60% output (three green leds). So basically, unless the pump was off when you took the picture, the IC40 swg is not producing chlorine for the pool.
What a disaster! That pool looks terrible! Glad you found us! That log right there is grounds for a firing, or a new assignment.
I am as surprised as you, each bag of that dichlor should be adding about 3 ppm cya to the pool.FrontDeskClerk said:
If your right on the 20,000 gallon size, every pound of dichlor added should raise CYA by 3 ppm. Salt is a dded to the water (hundreds of pounds of it), the salt water passes through the SWG cell where electricity between the plates separates it into sodium ions and chlorine ions which form hypochlorus acid in the water, the same as adding liquid chlorine / bleach.
I assume the green photos are the water of the pool. Is the the base of the pool? Were these taken after dark? What is the grey thing I am looking at? the floor?
They seem really cloudy and green to me.
The chart shows CA with a check mark. Do we know what that is supposed to mean?
Wait??? I just read, this is an INDOOR pool? Why are we adding vast amounts of CYA to an indoor pool with a SWG?

Any chance water gets drained and new water added from time to time? That would explain the CYA level, and explain a low salt level.
I assume, assume backwashing takes place. But I also assumed they knew what they were doing with the pool. So salt should be purchased for this product where??? And what amounts for a 20000 gallon pool.
