Why is my salt cell Reading High?

The ‘High Salt’ LED may also be ON if the wrong Turbo Cell is being used. The Aqua Trol systems are designed to only work with the t-5 model. The LCD display will read ‘HI’ when the amperage is above 6.40. Verify salt level is 2700 – 3400ppm and check with independent test to ensure accuracy.

What should my salt reading be in my pool?

The ideal salt level is between 2700-3400 ppm (parts per million) with 3200 ppm being optimal. Before adding salt to your pool, test the water to check your salt level.

How do you reset the salt level on a Hayward?

To reset, move the switch to ‘Off’ and then back to ‘Auto’. Wait for the relay to click (5 to 10 seconds). When the instant salt level is stable (and the negative sign still present), slide switch to ‘Super Chlorinate’ and back to ‘Auto’. It takes about 30 seconds for the unit to settle back on the default reading.

What to do if your salt level is above 3200ppm?

If salt level is above the range, partially drain the pool and/or spa and refill with fresh water to achieve a salt level of 3200ppm, refer to page 9, Step D. If the salt level is not high, verify the correct cell is being used then reset (follow steps for How to Reset Average Salt Levels above)

What does the salt reading on an aquarite mean?

The AquaRite normally displays an average salt reading for the last 24 hours. The reading is also somewhat affected by the water temperature, generally reading a bit lower than actual when the water is cold. Depending on the time of day and when you looked at the reading relative to when you added the salt, it could do what you describe.

What’s the problem with a salt level of 2600?

The problem with the reading of 2600 is that the “low salt” warning light is on and the system won’t generate because of it. Do you know of a work around? What does your instant salt setting say for salt level?

Which is the most accurate reading of salt?

The K-1766 measures chloride levels and reports in units of salt (NaCl). That is going to be the most accurate as far as salt is concerned. An electronic tester measures conductivity (which is dependent on the total number of each type of ion) and converts that into a salt reading. The cell is calibrated at 77 o F.

Why does my aquarite read too much salt?

Always have the salt tested independently of the unit to confirm the salt level before adding salt. Your over salting of the pool is not unusual because many people take the reading on their display as the actual salt level in the pool, when in fact it is and average salt level and it may be skewed by a failing cell.

Can a failing cell still read low salt levels?

It’s common for failing cells to read lower salt levels. If it’s 6 years old I’d suspect the cell. Alright, so salinity is measured by temp, voltage, and amperage. This cell still generates and when it does the voltage/amp readings appear normal so what about meddling with the temp sensor?

What should the salt level be in an inyopool?

Step 2: Verify the accuracy of the salt readings (2700-3400 ppm) with an independent test kit or by taking a water sample to your local pool store for testing. 3200 ppm is the ideal level. If the salt level is below range, add enough salt to achieve a salt level of 3200 ppm. If the salt level is within range, go to Step 3.
