i have been trying to get my pool dialed in before i go on vacay saturday and today my salt panel is saying low salt. The card on the panel says my pool should have 2700-3400 ppms of salt. a mth ago i tested the salt and got 3800 and panel said 2700. we cleaned the cell a few weeks ago, too, as well. today the light on the panel is lit up saying "low salt." I tested it more carefully today and with the Taylor K-1766 kit, again, tested @ 3600. With a clean cell and last I saw my CYA was 55 and I added some so it's possibly up to 70 now, at day's end FC was 3. CC=0. I thought 55% for the salt cell was pretty high to only have 3 FC although it was a sunny Phoenix day and pump hasn't been on since late morn.
Should I take the water to the pool store to see what they come up with or trust my kit? i'm thinking of turning up the salt cell while we're gone, asking neighbor if they can add some acid and calling it a vacay, and continue to dial it in when we get back, but whether it do it now or when i get back, do i need more salt is still the question.
thx!
