Turned it off again and will turn back on at 10:00am today since it would be 24 hours that i ran just the pump. Water is very clear right and can't wait to see how this thing really performs
K, when you push the little black "diagnostic" button next to the display - it will show you (by push #):
1. Water temp
2. Cell voltage
3. Cell current
4. Desired % output
5. Instant salinity (with a "-" sign) (salt ppm)
6. Which unit you have
7. Which software revision yours has.

The original # (3200, in your case) is the average salt ppm for the last 100 minuit cycle, whereas the 5th push of the button shows the ppm of the water passing through the cell 'right now'.
If you are at 3200, you're well within the operating range for the unit. There is a place on the inside of the door, at the bottom, to write in the ppm increase/ 50 lbs of salt added - yours would be 800 ppm/ #50 salt (or 850, if you go by the instant salinity), give it a day and write in the appropriate number to that blank.
Have a wonderful swim season!!
