Salt cell first season

[WGR-salt]

I bought a salt cell at the end of season last year. 2023 summer installed new liner and cleaned/new sand in filter. Salt cell now displaying ‘check/inspect cell’. Hayward.
Why?
Set it on super chloration for 1 month at 30.
2nd month it is giving me issues… why?

Once I found the chorine was too high I turned it off and let it open to the sun.
May have added too much stabilizer earlier. All is well now… is the cell ok, or did I kill it?

Super chlorinate is 100%, no matter what dial is set at....

Do you have a K-1766 kit to test for salt?

Are you tracking CSI to make sure you stay 0 to -6? You may have built up scale, but it's hard to say without seeing plates.

Plates are clean. Do not have kit. Is the salt low you think?

SWCG estimation of salt level is not always correct. You may have low salt, you may have high salt, you may have perfect salt. Without testing, you simply don't know.
