I've having an issue with my salt cell reading low salt and not producing chlorine. Here are the specifics:
Why would it be reading low salt when it's not supposed to start reading that way until 2,600?
Thanks,
Ryan
- IC-40 is one-year old
- The owner's manual says 3,600 is ideal (I've been reading the cell incorrectly and thought it said ideal was 3,000)
- The owner's manual says cell will read low salt starting at 2,600 (Manual - pg 17 is the relevant one in the PDF)
- Salt level readings
- My Taylor K-1766 says the salt level 3,000
- My Aquacheck strips says salt level of 2,830
- Pool is 18,000 gallons and plaster
- Pool water is 80 degrees
Why would it be reading low salt when it's not supposed to start reading that way until 2,600?
Thanks,
