Thank you will drain some of the water today.Hi, welcome to TFP! You will need to replace some of the water to get the salt level down. You can use http://www.troublefreepool.com/calc.html to tell you how much water to remove. We recommend our members use a FAS/DPD test kit such as a Taylor K2006 or TF 100 . Either of these kits will allow you to test chlorine levels higher than 5ppm, which you will need in order to complete the SLAM process . The slam process will clear up the cloudiness.
I'm using the 3" tablets for now and the chlorine is just fine for now.Welcome to TFP and congrats on the new pool!
Be sure to chlorinate your pool with bleach anytime your SWG isn't working or keeping up. The cloudiness is the start of algae due to insufficient chlorine levels.
The first day I turned on the SWG it was telling me I got high salt when my salt level in the pool was at 770ppm. Intel is sending me a new Titanium Electrode so will see how that goes.The good news is its still blue! You should be able to fix this in short order if you get on it with bleach. Was your SWG giving your problems that you turned it off?
How sure are you of that 4200ppm salt reading? My SWG thinks I have too much salt, but I don't. And it still works fine so....<shrug> perhaps you can still use yours?
ordering that test kit this weekHi, welcome to TFP! You will need to replace some of the water to get the salt level down.

It's the picture the color is dim it's a 5 or higherIt's actually closer to 3. I made a copy of the picture, then cut and pasted a piece of the sample color. Drop it on the color matching area. Most like 3.
