Aqua pure 1400 high salt reading

cwswifty · Apr 5, 2025

I know that these things are notoriously incorrect at reading salinity levels. Just looking for advice here. TF Pro consistently measures 2600 ppm while AquaPure measures 3400 ppm. No warning LEDs and chlorine production is working fine (only on 20% at the moment). AquaPure says salinity should ideally be between 3000 and 3500. Should I leave it alone as long as it’s working or attempt the recalibration procedure?

I'd leave the device alone as if you get in there fiddling you *could* mess something up. Trust the test kit.
If you want to add 80 pounds of salt that will take you to aprox. 3000.

Thanks Maddie. I’m leaning towards that plan too. I already added 40 lbs today and will recheck things tomorrow. After raising to 3000 ppm, If I get any error messages from AquaPure about high salt maybe look into the calibration procedure.

There's an Aquapure Wiki in the Jandy section.

Jandy lists an 'ideal range', which i never like. Just tell me what's

acceptable. 'Ideally' you'll get 35 MPG. Ok GREAT. But I'm 4 wheeling. So....... Does my truck still work, or not ?

*snaps to* Sorry. Anywho. Most cells work no different from 3000 to 4000 so you probably both fall in that range now.

I always found my AP1400 sensor to read high compared to the actual Taylor test kit. In fact I would add salt and find that the real level rose but the sensor only rose slightly. Be interested in what your does. I do not think my AP sensor ever read about 4000 even when the actual salt level was at 3400-3600.

Thanks guys for the responses!

I’ll raise the salinity up to 3000 or 3200 and update here.

You can test the board for accuracy and recalibrate the salinity.

If the salinity does not read 2.8, then recalibrate it by the amount it is off.

For example, if it reads 3.2, then it is off by 400 ppm and you recalibrate it down by 400 ppm (0.4 GPL).

Thank you James! If it comes down to a re-cal it doesn’t seem too complicated.
