As noted, I've had my Hayward SwimPure Plus T-9 salt cell for 11 years. It no longer maintains the correct salt reading - the check salt and inspect cell start flashing at salt level 2600. I have also recalibrated the unit. I test the salt with the Taylor sodium chloride kit. My reading is 3400. Volt and amp readings on the display are within normal limits. I removed the cover and the board and thermistor look good. I brought it to Pinch a Penny and the unit tests good. I have no clue how they test the cell and whether the tester is proficient in the actual testing. I am thankful I have had great luck with this cell but believe it is time for a new one. Is there anything else I can check or am I on the right track?
