Hi we have a new Intex pool 24 x 12 with sand filter Model no. 15220 and Intex Krystal Clear Saltwater System Model no. CS8220.
We added the recommended amount of salt and followed all the manufacturers instructions, the pool ran perfectly for about a month but for the past couple of weeks the warning light comes on saying high salt, and we cannot get it to generate chlorine. If my husband runs a hose with fresh water into the inlet it will work but this is not really solving the problem. We have the pool under cover in a polytunnel as the weather is not good for outdoor swimming in UK!! the only difference from when we started running the system is that the water temperature has risen by about 10 degrees- and the tunnel gets very hot during the day would this change the salt reading on the system? the salt test strips are proving to be elusive in UK and the postage from USA is very high so I would be grateful for any suggestions before spending three times the purchase price for postage on these - one site quotes .$33!!!! for an item costing $18.99 I cannot find another thread on this problem and apologise if I am doubling up.
Thanks for looking
Claire
