New SWG Pentair IChlor-30 in my 20,000 gal. pool. Everything has been fine up until now, but unit suddenly shut down due to low salt (flashing red light indicates <2000 ppm salt level). Did a complete analysis two days ago and everything seemed fine:
pH 7.5
FC 6.5
CYA 65
Total alkalinity 90
Salt cell running at 60% setting
The only change I made was to add CYA to bump the level up a bit. There has been no serious rain, no draining and the waterl level has been steady. I checked with strips (Taylor test kit on order from TFTestkits) and got 2750 ppm salt. Cell should still operate at that level, but it is not. Any hints or suggestions? Next step is to add salt, I suppose, but want to be sure I am not missing something.
