Makes you thing the problem is not with the SWG but maybe the plumbing or hook-up, right?
The only other problem could be that the salt level really is too low and the tests have been inaccurate. Maybe I'll test it again somewhere else to rule that out as a possible scenario. Any other suggestions would be appreciated.
Thanks.
I suspect that your SWG might not be hooked up properly or is malfunctioning. You can get pretty accurate salt readings from the Aquachek White salt test strips. I have checked them against chemical tests and 2 different meters (Goldline and LaMotte) numberous times and they have always been right on the money (well within 200 ppm, which is the accuracy of the Taylor test).
