Finally got around to installing the Hayward ProLogic P4 and dug the brand new and unopened T-15 cell out of the closet that I bought 3 years ago.
I have the Taylor K-1766 salt test kit (also about 3 years old, stored in my closet).
A few weeks ago, I measured my salt level at 1200ppm (a little surprised at this given that most of the water was new in March and I had measured 600ppm back in April) and then went and bought some salt. Added 200 lbs during a birthday party (girls liked the "diamond day") and the next day measured 2500ppm ... right on what I expected.
Saturday I tested again and got 2500ppm, fired up the ProLogic and it was reporting 2000ppm. Had "diamond day" part 2 with the last 3 bags of salt I had (SWG off).
Sunday tested and got 3200ppm, as expected, but the ProLogic is showing around 2600ppm and does not want to generate. Left the SWG off and then had it check again this morning and still reporting 2600ppm
So, how similar would one expect the ProLogic and Taylor kits to be? {I thought I had read that the ProLogic may only be good to within 800ppm, which seems a little high to me.}
Is there a way to "reset" the SWG that may result in a better agreement?
Is my brand new 3 year old cell bad?
Or are these results within the respective accuracy that others have seen and I should just add 80lbs more salt to make the SWG happy?
