I have measured my salt level with a salt tester and I have taken water to my pool store. Both of us come in with readings of 3200+. On the screen readout of my Hayward box this morning the salt level said 2500 and of course it was not generating (check salt and check cell lights both on solid). I did the instantaneous reset thing and the salt reading changed to 2700 and it started generating, but that is still a more than 500ppm difference between the two. Is there a way to re-calibrate the Hayward, or do I have some other problem? Any help/suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you very much! I think it may be age in my case. I need to look at when it was installed. What is considered "old" for a salt cell?
