I got the low amp flashing light, it said add some salt, so I did. While the salt was dissolving and going through the skimmer basket the light stopped flashing and read 25V@~6A, if I remember right.
After some time the light starts flashing again. OK I get my salt test strip out and wait the 4 min. and read 2450ppm. I calibrate the salt meter to 2400ppm. The bag of salt says for my pool I need 5 bags of salt to bring it up to 3100ppm. So I add 4.5 bags, just in case.
Flashing light goes off, get a good 25V,~6A reading GREAT!
Just went and looked again, it is now reading 3100ppm salt, 29V,3A! So I get out my salt test strip again, wait the 4 min, and it is now reading 4700ppm! The water does have a slight salt taste to it, but nothing abnormal.
Any ideas what is wrong? I already cleaned the cell and it is sparkly clean, reset the cables, etc. I don't see any wear on the cell, though it is ~5 seasons old.
I'm running on power level 3.
thanks,
dave
