FYI,
Water temps changes the SI so as the water gets colder it may show incorrect readings. Also TDS may not be your true salt readings. You always want to subtract some from the TDS do to what i call bad salt (sweat, pee, etc)
here is something I found out that had help a lot and kinda shows why salt readings can jump around a few 100ppm
I use whats called 77\77
what these mean is if the water is 70F then 70 - 77 = 7 temp def.
7 x 77ppm = 539ppm
3600ppm - 539ppm = 3,061ppm
Every test you run will not be true, always + or - 200 to 500ppm
3,061ppm is not even counting your SI or what I call bad salt so your cell could be showing low salt.
adjust your CH and drop your PH to 7.2 and it should show a little better.
In any even you can always replace the flow switch (includes the water sensor) The only true way to tell is to wand the cell.
I showed you all of this (in your case call pentair) bc most people call me saying there cell is not working when its not the cell. I dont mind bc its more money for me when i do a water test, correct the issue then bill the homeowner.
I also always wand the cell to check and be sure the water temp sensor is reading as it should.
