Salt test strips

Why doesn’t the salt reading match a tester?
The chlorinator, as well as any tester has a tolerance and when tested, commonly the unit will not read exactly the same as a tester. Most test units as well as the chlorinator have a tolerance of roughly 100-300PPM so seeing readings 400-600PPM off is common.

You may want to go through the Diagnostic Display and see what Amperage is being used. I think I read here that 8 Amps is the cutoff where you get High Salts/High Amps.

Further down in that FAQ there's a procedure for "recalibrating" the displayed reading, that may be of interest, especially if you need to "eliminate the error lights."

We always allow 10% margin of error either way with strips. They are getting better. Problem is the meters on the chlorinators have the same margin of error. Best to rely on the chlorinator since it knows what it is looking for. If the salt is slightly higher or lower than the recommended it should not create a problem.
