You don't say what kind of salt cell you have, I assume a Hayward t-15 from what you have posted. Looking at the manual for that, it says ideal salt level is 2700-3400 ppm. Based on that I would assume the salt cell is working properly and you do in fact have, low salt. I would add enough salt to bring it up to 3000ppm, give it a few days and then try the salt cell again once your testing at 3000ppm.

Yes sorry. T15
Your solution makes sense and seems too easy to be true. Ha!
