    Are you sure you have enough salt dissolved in the water to get it to 3000ppm?

    Are your sure the pool is free of algae? You might try a traditional chlorine shock and then kick the swg back on to maintain. Also, as others have mentioned you might need more runtime than you are currently getting.

    SWG is good for keeping an algae free pool clean, but once there's any algae growing you need to clean up the problem with bleach like normal.

    Have you established that the pool water is definitely flowing across the salt cell? Is the SWCG's panel able to give you feedback on the salt level and water temp?

    Just trying the shotgun approach!
