New to salt water pool, just converted.. Not new to water chemistry, previous experience in cooling tower and saltwater aquariums.
So converted my pool to salt, its a 20k pool with a 60k generator. opened pool just off of generator, water is clearing up each day, just needs a vacuum now. PH 7.4 TDS a little high 6k salt a little high per manufactures suggestion 4100. My fancy brand new SAFE-DIP 6-in-1 Electronic tester says ORP LOW (was showing orp like 137 yesterday, seems to be dropping) however test strips show free chlorine right in the sweet spot... Can't be correct right? I know the generator is working i can see the fine white bubbles in the return line, and the generator is drawing about 197 watts. I know my fancy tester is working, if i mix up some chlorine water it reads... what gives?
