a little autopilot education needed plse

salt strips should be read at the apex of the color change. Therefore, the higher of the two readings. Being 200 - 400 ppm different is not of any concern. IF you want to calibrate it to the strips test result, and do not know how to do so, please let me know.

thanks sean..and no, i don't..i found this thread, but think it might apply to the digital not the soft touch?

Correction, the salt calibration is in the Maintenance menu.
Press MENU, then arrow up or down to CALIBRATE SALT.
Press SELECT, then arrow up or down to match your salt test.
Press SELECT, the unit will adjust to the new reading.
EXIT MENU to go back to the regular display.

It is important that you have the water tested at least 24 hrs of pump operation after adding salt so that it is circulated and distributed evenly throughout the pool. Only if this salt test shows differently from the unit do I recommend going into the Salt Calibration menu. A +- 200 - 300 ppm difference is not uncommon and does not warranty calibration, although it doesn't harm it to adjust it.

ps - good to know about the salt strips at the very least. i'm quite happy with the level on the salt strip of 3250 or and would rather be a bit high than low to give me buffer room for situations like today where it started raining cats and dogs and i needed to drain about 2 inches of water level before i went to work. fortunately, i have a large drain pipe that goes to my sewer system so i can pump 2 inches in a couple of minutes

Yes, that is for the Digital unit. For the Soft Touch it's a bit more involved. I can e-mail you off line.

ok sean..watch your email
