I opened back in mid April and water had been clear and aside from shocking when I opened, adding a couple bags of salt, and CYA, I haven’t added anything else to the pool thus far. Salt was 2700 about 4 weeks ago and now 2600. FC has been steady and not dropping so clearly enough for SWCG to generate enough chlorine. Any other benefit to getting salt level up to 3200ish? Or should I just leave alone since it’s still producing FC and water is clear?
Tweak or leave alone?

Welp. Normally I don't add salt unless the cell complains. But that's mostly because I'm not regularly testing my salt. If I happened to catch it right about the time it went low, I'd add back to 3200.
Gotcha. I usually only check about every 4-6 weeks just to make sure it’s similar to what the cell is reading. Probably won’t hurt getting the number up but just wasn’t sure if it was absolutely necessary.
It's not necessary at all. If the cell is producing, you're good.
But its about to shut off, so no sense in letting it happen and possibly not catching it in time. Lol
Well the unit is reading 3000 but my Taylor test is 2600 so it’ll stay on for now at least. I trust the test more than the unit. But that being said I’ll probably add since I know it’s lowish
