My new plaster pool is past the 30 day curing period, so I added salt to 3200 ppm using the Taylor salt test kit, and then turned on my Jandy Aquapure SWCG.
The issue I'm having is that the salt generation keeps turning off and on every few seconds. It will oscillate between 70% (where I set it) and 0% constantly, beeping every time. The SWCG is reading the salt level at 3800 ppm, well above the 3200 I got using the Taylor kit.
I contacted my pool builder, and they said that the salt level is too high, which is causing the unit to stop generating chlorine intermittently. They said I need to drain some water to get the salt level down to 3400. I trust the Taylor kit more than the built in sensor, so I think that'll drop the actual salt level to 2800.
Jandy recommends 3000 to 3500, with 2000 being the minimum. 2800 isn't much below that, so seems like that should be okay.
Any thoughts on how to proceed? I suppose I could drain some water but that seems like a wasteful solution, particularly when I'm relying on a sensor that I don't think is particularly accurate. I researched and cannot find a way to calibrate the salt sensor on the Aquapure.
