Just got my Polaris Autoclear Plus going today..
Prior to starting the SWG up I tested the salt PPMs with AquaChek white test strips and added 320lbs of salt to get the salt level to the recommended 3000~3500PPM.
I then hooked up the the Autoclear Plus and started it up and the Autoclear Plus is reading 2500PPM salt and the salt scale (add salt) light is on although it is running and the service warning LED is not on. I checked again with the AquaChek white test strips and it is showing ~3400PPM. The test strips are brand new and not close to the expiration date.
So... which to trust? The water temperature is ~72*F.
Too much salt is worse for the SWG than too little salt, right? Could it be that I need to wait a little while longer for the salt to completely dissolve?
