My Aquapure 1400 SWG is under reporting salinity by 500-800ppm when compared to Pool Store testings. Bad Flow sensor? Bad SWG? Bad board? Bad pool stores? No errors on board. Flow lite ok. Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
Aquapure RS under reports salinity

Welcome to TFP!!
Is it
1. - Producing chlorine and just under reporting salt, or
2. - Is it not producing chlorine because it thinks salt is too low.
Oh, the pool store testing being faulty is another possibility that you have already identified.

It's as likely the pool store reading is off as it is your SWG is under reporting the level. Salt readings are inaccurate, as long as your SWG is within its recommended salt range and is working I wouldn't worry about it. I have seen mine differ by more than 1000 as compared to strips and it continues to work fine year after year.
I agree with JamesW. Get the salinity test and take from there. My SWG have been over reading since last year. My pool still under warranty and so far 3 sensors have been replaced, the board was replace yesterday and still having incorrect reading, which at times make the SWG stop producing chlorine. I normally test using the aquacheck salt strip and take my water to two different pool store just to confirm make test is accurate.
WOW! Really quick responses to my SWG problem. Thanks to all!!!! My SWG is producing chlorine ok. However, I'm afraid that when the salt level is too low. it will report it on my PDA "add salt" and I'll have to figure out how to clear the message. The cell is about 3 yrs old. No error codes,flow light is on, SWG producing chlorine.Everything looks good except the salinity. My reading is 3000ppm. One store has 3500ppm and another has it 3800 ppm. Descaled the cell today-same reading 3000ppm. (i've always kept my salt level at 3200ppm). To JamesW--- I'll get the Taylor K 1766 test kit, but how do you recalibrate the cell??
Again, thanks to all! It's appreciated!

My Aquapure was always a few hundred points below the K-1766 reading. My AquaRite has been within 200 points at all times except when the first cell died.
