I don't think this is correct. First my IntelliChlor SWG says my salt level is 2700 ppm (add salt light is on), and second I can't taste the salt like I did before when I had 3500ppm (confirmed by pool store).
I'm going to get a test from one of the pool stores today to see what they say and to pick up some more salt.

Is there anything I could have done wrong to throw off the PS234S test?
I added the 2ml pool water followed by the one drop Salt regaent #1, followed by the distilled water to the line on test tube. Then I added drops of regaent #2 (swirling inbetween) until the liquid stayed an orange color. It took twenty drops.
The pool pump was not running for about 2 or 3 hours prior to the test. The water temp was around 88 degrees.

I am also having trouble with Bens salt test. My system shows 3700 ppm and his test shows 5000 ppm. I ran Bens test three times and it stayed consistant at 5000 ppm (three test in three weeks), yet the Aquarite shows instant salinity of 3700 ppm with normal saility at 4000 ppm.
