I couldn't log into my old account "eggman" so I created this one to ask this question.
Here's my problem/question. My old salt cell was giving me low readings while my test strips were telling me the level was 3900-4100 PPM. I just installed a new cell and it's getting a "High Salt/Amps" reading which means - hooray - the new cell is probably reading correctly.
The Pool Calculator says I need to change out 22% of my water - which I would rather not do. Can I turn the chlorinator off and maintain my chlorine using 12.5% bleach until mother nature lowers the salt PPM back to a working level?
