I have a large pool (60,000+ gallons) and installed a pair of APure 1400s about 15 years ago, and have maintained them since. They have been largely trouble free other than cell replacement and cleaning. We recently went on a trip for a couple weeks and before I left I checked and everything was healthy. Upon my return, both generators were indicating low salt (1.2-1.3) and no other error codes. I checked the pool salt with both a test strip and at a pool store with a more sophisticated tester and both indicated salt was about 3.5. I took the sensors out and cleaned them, but it made no difference. I tried recalibrating the salinity but at max it was still below 3.5 so I am guessing that a lightning strike or something took out both front boards? The cells and sensors are relatively new (about a year or so). Thanks in advance for any suggestions, I am going to troubleshoot the front boards next....
Aquapure 1400 suddenly shows low salt but it isn't?

Jandy AquaPure 1400 new sensor and low salt reading and can't calibrate
I thought our sensor had gone bad due to fluctuating low salt levels, so replaced with new sensor. The salt level was tested externally (Taylor K-1766) to be 3400 ppm, and new sensor reads 0.8 gpl (800 ppm). I'm unable to calibrate back to 3.4 through the calibration procedure: (Pressing...
