This weekend I removed the salt cell. It was clean as a whistle - no deposits. I then added a 40# bag of salt and later turned on the cell. Now the cell is reading 3200 and producing chlorine. Interesting to point out that the Taylor test is still at 3200 ppm. I don't have time to monkey...

I turned on my salt cell this morning. It read 2800 and then turned off indicating salt level was too low. It was used for one season and has not been inspected/cleaned. I'll do that this weekend and if it still reads low, I'll add a single 40# bag. Does this sound like the right way to go?

I agree. When it comes to salt, cya and borates - I use caution cause I don't want to have to dump water. I received the new silver nitrate and a new bottle of strips the weekend. Drum role.... Nothing changed. Taylor test still at 3200 ppm and strips are around 2300 ppm. Is there...

Thank you! I agree with all of your comments above. I have ordered more reagents (from here of course!). I will follow up with my experiment results shortly...

Thank you. I would agree with you, but.... I mentioned in my original post that everything has been trouble free. I didn't mention that my pool builders are the most inept, unprofessional, inconsiderate, untrustworthy, conniving, (need i go on)...did I say they lie through their teeth? My...

I'm in NH. I bought a 50 lb bag of de-icer (100% CaCl) at Lowes for $18. This was in April. I was there last week and they moved their de-icer stock to the pool section. Same price. Paying $50 is way too much...

I've been following you guys before my pool was even built. First time poster (I think). Last year was 100% trouble free (as far as pool water goes). Thank you all. I've read in detail here about testing the salt. And I get it - just make sure the cell is happy. Well, I'm not comfortable...
