IC40 reading 9000ppm salt

[jlamb5990]

Check the salinity a different reliable way.

Are you sure that you are doing the test correctly?

Did you check for scale?

Have you added salt lately?

If there is no scale, file a warranty claim and ask for a replacement cell.

Yep just tested again with my Taylor kit. 16 drops before the it turned to the salmon/brick color. 3200ppm. Not sure what’s going on. Probably going to leave it alone until the the day after the 4th and check for scale or file a claim

What is the date on the bottom of the cell?

What is the date on the bottom of the cell?

Where would I find the date? All I have on the bottom is the serial and part numberss

 

[JamesW]

They should have a date like this one.

Yours is too blurry to read.

What does this show in the red circle?

Ok, check for scale and clean if necessary.

Seems odd that the reading just suddenly went way off.

Did you add salt recently?

Nope I haven’t added salt since I added my first time in February. I over added originally to 4500 so it’s been slowly coming down and was at 3400 a couple weeks ago and 3200 today when I tested to verify the cell was off. Ya it’s bizarre how it all the sudden went out of whack. It’s weird too because I only noticed by accident when turning on my spillway through the app. I’m not getting any sort of alerts or errors through screen logic saying high salt. I have gotten that alert before when I accidentally added too much months ago so I know that alert exists. But I’m not getting it at all now. All very strange

I haven’t seen it go off ever but it’s definitely on.

j,

In your pic the "Cell" light is not on.

Jim I have to be honest with you I’ve never even noticed that light going on and off . I just always looked at the percent lights. It’s on now though. I guess my first picture caught it on an off cycle.

Did you ever figure this out. I am having the same weird high salt reading issue. I have checked the level multiple times the salt cell reading is about +3000 from the other tests.
