My Jandy salt cell was showing low salt yesterday (1,400) and I thought it was a sensor problem. After testing the water myself, I got the same readings. On March 15th, it was 2,200, I added 10 bags of salt and it was testing at 3,800 a few days later. We have had about 6" of rain between when I added the salt and now. I am used to the salt falling over the winter and I add the salt back in the spring but I have never had to add salt again throughout the summer, especially not 2 months later. I am wondering if I have another problem here or if I just added the salt earlier in the spring/rainy season than normal. I do have an autofill but it seems to be working, my first trouble shooting step if it drops again will be to turn it off. Also I usually use the Clorox pool salt but based on comments here, I used Diamond Crystal this year. Any ideas?
Added to say that normally I add the salt in early June when the water gets warm enough to use the salt cell but this year we started heating the water in March so we added it sooner. Also it has been an unusually wet year here.
