Hi all - I’m in the middle of converting my pool to salt. I have a kid set shaped pool that seems to hold approximately 22000 gallons based on online calculators. Prior to starting I measured salinity at 600ppm with the TFT pro salt test kit. From the various calculators I dumped in 13 bags of Clorox brand pool salt to get the pool above 3000ppm. However my readings sit only at 2400 after 48 hours. I’ve brushed the pool but there is no undisolved salt as far as I can tell. I’m pretty sure about the volume of the pool so confused as to what could be wrong here.

Welcome! The salt test has an error tolerance of +\- 200ppm so that combined with water volume error along with Clorox salt (avoid Clorox salt again as it has contained other junk in the past from some folks) might be what’s going on.
Does everything else such as muriatic acid, CYA, CH always do what it supposed to do ?
If so, i'd give it 2 more days (circulating the whole time) before adding more salt. It doesnt come out easy.

Wish I read that about Clorox salt. It definitely left a lot of weird foamy residue on top of the pool
Are you basing your salt level on a drop test or the device itself? The device should be OFF when adding salt, and don't turn on again till late the next day.
