What’s the ideal Salt ppm?
- Thread starter rnaval
- Start date
I found in manual that range is 2700 to 3400ppm. What does your system report as salt level? I assume the 3700ppm reading is from your test kit.
You need the test results from the K-1766 salinity test kit.

What are your volts and amps?
High salt causes high amps which causes heat in components which burn out Aquarite boards
You want to keep the SWG happy with salt around 3000 and amps in the 6s for best board life.
