Pentair IC40 low salt reading. But I believe is wrong

[geewiss]

Went out this morning and noticed my low salt light is red on my IC40. Checked the app salt level reads 2550.

Tested my salt levels manually and they are 3200. Doing some reading on the forums and it appears I have a bad sensor in my IC40 but would like verification.

My plumbing temp gauge says the water is 70 degrees. When I go into diagnostic mode on the IC40, the 80% and the 100% lights light up and from what I'm reading that equals 86 to 95. Given these differences is it safe to say I have a faulty flow switch (which houses the temp gauge) on the IC40?

Gee,

Most of the time when the cell salt readings are low, and the actual salt reading are normal, the thermistor inside the flow switch is bad.

Thanks,

Clean the cell, reinstall and verify if no change is always first.
