After opening my pool, I got my salt level, ph, TA all set however I cannot get chlorine generated. Originally my control panel was functioning fine, however it went from saying the salt level was 3200 last night to 1600 this morning and now the No Flow light is on. Do I just need to replace the flow switch, or could it be something else?

Give us a little more info on your pool. Please fill your signature with pool info. Low flow with the same settings as before is usually a dirty filter. What type of filter do you have? Have you cleaned it lately? Have you added any floc to your pool?
Thank you, I added the info to my signature. We have cleaned everything-the pool was built in 2016 and we did replace the t cell once.

You can remove your cartridge filters and run the pump. Let us know if the no flow light turns off/green.

Okay, we had water tested again and all readings aside from chlorine are perfect. Everything is clean and we went ahead and replaced the flow switch. The control panel is still saying the salt is too low (1500), so it won’t generate chlorine. We are going to have the pool company come but they can’t get here for a week. Any other ideas?

You need a Test Kits Compared add the salt test also. Dont add salt until you can test for salt. Add liquid chlorine for now and follow non.swg FC/CYA Levels
Salt is at 3200, I’ve tested it twice- so something is wrong with salt sensor, T cell or control panel I assume

We recently moved to a property with a salt-water pool. We were fortunate enough to find this website that has helped us tremendously after a few frustrating (and expensive) weeks trying to get help from the pool store. We recently completed a SLAM which did an amazing job clearing up the...
