    Chlorine reading

    Pool 18X12X52 pole pool Intex Krystal Klear SWG rated for 15K gallons Taylor test kit indicate salt ppm at 3200. Chlorine appears to be 0 based on Taylor test kit. pH is good. Is 3200 ppm an optimum salt level or do I need to add more? The filter and SWG have been running for a few days now.

    I have the Intex Krystal Clear SWG Model CS8110. It will not generate chlorine in a normal fashion.
