Pool was finished 4weeks ago. Using the pool math function I brought the ph down to 7.5, Fc up to 7, and added enough stabilizer to bring cya to 70. I went and calculated the pool math and said to add 386lbs of salt for 3600ppm. I dumped in 9 40lb bag which 360lbs and have let it run all day. I got some test strips from Leslie's until my Taylor kit gets here. I have a ic 40 that is wired direct into my dual timer so I was not able to turn it off separate from the pump. I turned the pump power off and then back on, once the SWG reset all went green and appears to be working great. I set it to the lowest level 20% and it is was reading FC 7 this morning at 7 when I tested it at 7 this evening it was still at 7. My worry is this, I tested with the strip and it shows over 5k. I did it twice with the same result.
I used 0 in the pool math because I used tap water. From the math I can't see how 360lbs of salt is reading 5k. The SWG is not flashing high salt.
I'm very new to this and now I'm m nervous. What should I do now, and how is this going to effect my pool. Do I let it run a full 24 hrs then retest.
I cant find any of the paper work for any on my equipment, so I don't know the max level of a IC40.
