Water is a bit cold (in the 50s), so I'm not 100% confident of my readings. But it was reading pretty low, so I put a few bags of salt in. Each 40lb bag does about 300ppm in my pool. The readings came up each time, so at 3000, I said what the heck we'll put in one more bag (making 5 total). So now it thinks my salt is at 7400ppm and the status is "OK - No errors", but the salt level light is flashing (high salt).
Is the 7400 because it's just over 4500 and so it went crazy?
Or is the whole thing just because it went crazy? I mean I don't get how 1 bag made it jump 4400ppm. I could see that maybe it was reading low and then that last bag flipped it out and over 4500 but I'm at a loss.
It doesn't look like from my manual that it's stopping production of chlorine. But what the heck do I do with this? I haven't tried to test the salt level with a strip yet but that's the next step...
