Just installed SWG, questions on salt level

[waste]

Noworries, no worries The manual doesn't read very well. Don't worry about adding more water if you are at 25 - 2600, you actually want to add more salt. (You are at a level that will generate chlorine so add the salt slowly and wait a day or 2 and see what the increase is, the display goes in 100 increments so adding 40 - 60 lbs at a time will give you a better idea of what each bag of salt will do) Please don't forget the cya - I like 30 -40, but there is some debate on this site as to what level is optimal, especially for SWGCs - also Goldline wants you to keep 60 - 80, if you tie the cya to salt at a ratio of 1lb : 100lbs you should fall within my range, but just double it to get to theirs.

I took some water in this morning. Here's what they tested:
Chlorine = 0.5
pH = 7.8
TA = 180
Calcium = 150
CYA = 50
Salt = 3600

The instant salt display on the SWG read 3000-3100.

They tested the salt with both an instrument (digital) and a strip--and they were both 3500-3600.

I ran the pool almost all day with it set to 100%, and added the other 1/2 gallon of acid. Tested the pool this evening myself, and the chlorine and acid levels are in the ideal range.

I'm not sure what I should do about the salt reading being off. At least it appears to be generating chlorine now--but if it reads so innacurate that it shuts itself off when it shouldn't--any recommendations?

I guess I should call the mfg on Monday?
