Cell connecting terminals too hot to touch

Is that salt level normal for your SWCG? How's your CYA level? What CYA does your SWCG mfg. recommend?

Owners manual recommends salt level close to 4000ppm but not less than 3500. Mine is 4100. CYA level is 62 which is within the 40-80 rec. range. FC is 4.5 and CC is 0. The only thing that is out of recommendations is calcium hardness level wich should be 150-200, whereas mine is 450.

Is there corrosion on the terminals?
Sounds like with your CH and having to clean the cell so often that dosing chlorine manually may be eaiser.
