T Cell 15 bad?

[kelemvor]

Good news for me; I was misreading the strips! I tested 3 times with the strips and consistently get about 2750 for the salt reading, and the cell is reading 2600. Seems close enough for government work to me, do you guys think that's an acceptable range for error there?

I got an "open" bag of salt from leslies when I went to get the strips (there was one local, after I checked the website. I like the staff at pincher penny better, but I digress) which I got for about 5 bucks. I'm gonna let the pump take a break tonight and put some more in in the morning.

Oh, one more question. Could the flashing "check cell" condition (reduced efficiency is what the manual says) be caused by the low salt level (also flashing), or does the check cell indicator not get affected by the low salt.

Actually, about 800 ppm difference is 'in range' You are fine.

Yes, a low salt condition can actually case premature cell failure so the system will shut off if the conductivity is too low (not enough salt or water is too cold.)

Oh Joy Oh Joy, at 2800ppm (reading from the panel) The system seems to be happily generating!

Where do I send the beer, waterbear?

bump the salt up to 3200 ppm

Or, you can send it to Louisiana and I'll send him whatever's left!!
