Hi all - we have an AquaLogic PS-8 with TurboCell. This is a brand new system, but it seems to be consistently reading a salt level that is 400-600 ppm lower than a Taylor Sodium Chloride Test Kit K-1766.

I'm wondering if my PS-8 needs to be calibrated? The PS-8 automatically shuts off the cell when the salt level is too low (I assume, below 2700 ppms?). If the PS-8 is indeed off, then the system wouldn't even turn on the cell until the true salt level was 3100-3300 ppms, which is too high. I'd like to keep the salt level at the low end of the range to minimize the salty taste, even though a higher salt level might be more efficient.

I've read that there is a calibration procedure, but that it is meant for pool maintenance folks. Is there a DIY procedure?

Thanks!
