I've read that some lower end SWGs will shut off production of chlorine if the salt is too high. Maybe that's what is happening here. Also, did you notice that the max output says 3ppm? That's not enough for sanitary pool is it?
You were right in the beginning, I did say 4800.
The salt doesn't say Low Salt. All the tests were high on the salt. The Free Chlorine and CC are what are ZERO My salt right now is definitely high.

The way a SWG detects the salt level is by the resistance in the cell while its generating. As a cell fails it reads lower salt readings. So if you are getting a low salt indication and are sure that the salt level is actually high, it may be a bad cell. Since this is a new build I would get your pool builder involved with this. You can check to see if the SWG is putting out any chlorine, just compare the FC of water taken from the pool with water sample taken directly from the pool return. The latter should be higher.
How would I get water directly from the pool return without touching the water in the rest of the pool.... or just in the general vicinity of the return?

What does this mean?
Yea I just tested again still at 50! Time to get to pool math and figure out amount
