I just purchased a house with a SWG. The previous owner's pool guy was running chlorine tablets in the pool. I am working through several issues with the pool, and have solved many of them by reading this website and getting the testing kit from here with salt water testing strips. I have been keeping the chlorine up with 10% liquid bleach from home depot but now am trying to get the SWG running, so now to my problem.
When I started last weekend, the pool controller was reading a salt level of 2200 ppm and was giving the warning of "Extremely low salt" I tested with the salt test strips and recorded a reading of 2230 ppm. Since then, I have set the SWG to 0% and added 80 lb of salt.
My controller is still reading "extremely low salt" and is now showing a reading of 2000 ppm. The test strips indicate a salt level of 2,860 ppm which lines up with the addition of 80 lb of salt.
The salt cell is a Haward T-Cell-15. I do not know how old it is, but I know it isn't new.
The controller is an Aqualogic controller installed in 2005 with the pool.
The results of my water test from last night:
FC 3.5
CC 0.5
CH 225
TA 90
Salt 2860 ppm
