My test kit reading is 2600 and the salt cell is reading 3400. It's a brand new cell. Since it doesn't have a low salt indicator, can I leave it as is without adding salt or should I bring it up to the 3000 recommended by the manufacturer. It's a Jandy Aquapure SWCG. I would prefer to leave it as is if I could. It's producing chlorine without any issues.

No need to add salt yet, like you said it is working without any issues then let it be.
Which salt test do you have?
Which salt test do you have?
Did you happen to calibrate the sensor? If not, then I would leave it alone and run it as it is.
I did not calibrate the sensor. I didn't see that as a step in the installation instructions. I will look into that.
I find often that my salt test kit (taylot) salt test strips, and swcg readings vary. My swcg does not offer a calibration and I'm not sure who I would believe any way. What I have found is that if the light on the SWCG is green and it is happy it is usually working, so I would leave it alone. If I found it working longer than expected or had trouble maintaing fc and my test kit were showing a low salt then I would add some incrementally.
