So I am at a complete loss...
I have a 20x40, 37000gal salt water pool. I have a single SWG (Probably need 2...) that is an Aquarite with a Compupool generator. It was working great until we've had about 26in of rain over the last couple of months. Now I cant get the chemistry right or really know what it is.
The SWG displays 900ppm
Test strips show 1800ppm
had a pool guy come and use an electronic tester and got 6600ppm
Taylor Silver Nitrate drop test - 8000ppm
What is going on??!
I originally only had the test strips and because it rained so much I added about another 1000lbs of salt to get the levels back right on the test strips and the SWG. Then it started disappearing. I checked the CYA and it was 55ppm. I bumped it up to 80ppm. Ever since ive had to add salt its been very cloudy too, no matter how much clarifier i put in.
Can you guys help at all? Im having to resort to just turning off the SWG and using chlorine for the rest of the year i feel.
Do i need a new SWG? is it the board or the cell? what do i really trust to determine my salt levels?
ANYYY information you can share will help! Thank you so much in advance!
