I probably should have used that to begin with.
The chlorine is also low - so I am wondering if there is something wrong with the cell - that it did not detect the salt correctly? And is not able to put out enough chlorine? usually we are problem free.
The system is now 3 years old and water is 73 degrees
When is the last time you cleaned the cell? If cleaning does not help then call goldline support. They can tell by the readout on your unit if the cell is failing.
