Is the salinity reading increasing?
Can you stir the bottom up a lot?
You need a good salinity test kit or meter.

RJ45 SALINITY READING

It is now up to 2900 seems to be making chlorine still has low salt light on.
Can you recommended a good meter? Like something easy that employees can check.
Update
Ran overnight still making chlorine low salt light off. Instant salt reading is 2950.

I have an RJ45 for a little over 1 year and I love it!!!!
Yes the salt readings on the RJ45 will confuse the heck out of you when you are starting out with the RJ45. Bottom line, use the Taylor salt test kit when you are starting out with your RJ45. Should you be able to rely on the RJ45 salt readings initially? Yeah sure, but get over it. I have found that after several months I can now rely on the RJ45 "salt" readings. Again I bought the RJ45 to generate chlorine not to be my salt tester and it works beautifully generating CL in an unattended mode, again love the RJ45. The Taylor salt kit is inexpensive and works. You only need to test your salt levels initially (first couple of weeks). Once stable the salt level really won't change much under normal conditions so you won't be measuring the salt (only to put your mind at ease periodically).

Thanks for the info. It took several days for the RJ45 to be happy with salt level even though numbers did not change a lot. Also amps on cell now show positive 4.09 or so....
I suspect that there might still be salt on the bottom.
I would not add more salt until you are 100% sure that it is all mixed in.

I agree thanks will wait until get test kit here to get good numbers.
Probably iron.
I would get an iron test kit to see how much iron is in the water.
Did the cell get dropped?
It looks like it might have a crack?

Looks like grass to me, rather than a crack. I see it mine sometimes too after the lawn crew comes through.
The brown though? That's puzzling, not sure what it might be.

Dissolve some vitamin C tablets in a quart of water and then remove the cell and pour in the water to see if the brown disappears.
If it does, it's probably iron.
Rinse well and reinstall.

# 1 looks like an impact.
# 2 looks like a crack.
The cell is after the filter. So, no grass or other debris should be getting to the cell.

No I think you are seeing a little piece of grass. Saw that too had to look twice.
Will that hurt if its iron? Is there a e at to control it?
No its grass and debris. I wondered about why its getting past the sand fiter.
Maybe I need more sand in the filter? Sorry really new to this. The filter is about 1/2 to 3/4 full with pool filter sand.
Heck I have a cartridge filter and little stuff still manages to find it's way past sometimes.
