The lower union (where is screws onto the salt cell) has a slow leak (1 drop every few minutes), this is a new install. I took the SWG out, cleaned the mating surfaces and put some magic lube on the o ring. It is still leaking. Any suggestions?

I would try replacing the O ring since it is easy and low cost.
You get your cell from your Pool Builder? Make a warranty claim on the new cell and make it the builder and Pentair problem.
Other then an O ring problem any other cause is expensive and should be a warranty claim.

I will replace the o-ring tomorrow, I am wondering if it was over tightened...I had the dummy tube in there while we were getting the water balance and clean and didn't have any leaks.
