We have an intex 24ft metal frame pool w/ sand/salt filter. Last year toward the end of the season it was showing code 91 & low salt. we just set up the pool 5 days ago. We put in the recommended amount of salt- 7 bags for a 12,ooo gallon pool. Today my son & I soaked both the salt cell & the copper electrode cell. We also back washed. It ran for just a short time & started beeping again & showing 91. So! What is the next thing to try? We have not flushed the pre filter housing. Would that help w/ the salt level? Could our sensor be in need of repair or a new one? The copper electrode cell is wore, or the corners are rounded down quite abit. Any information would be appreciated very much!
I do have the same problem every few days all I just discover is that I remove the cell tube and with the help of a long thin knife I clean the surface of the copper cell both in between and outsides. There is always dry salt on the surfaces and after the cleaning the sensor reading is in acceptable level so the chlorinator is working perfect without any 91 massage. To work it every day in order to avoid this happens very often and of course every time you hear the beap sound you have to repeat the scrutching and cleaning with the nife,
SOURCE: Keeps saying low salt level
I would say the rain is diluting the system at this point, or the system sensor has gone out. But if you had heavy rains I would be looking at that idea first.
thanks for using Fixya.

SOURCE: Salty taste, high ph levels, algea and have shocked pool twice
I'm just now setting up my Saltwater generator...so don't have your problem - yet! Local pool guy tho said with the saltwater systems you need to add dry acid to the pool almost weekly to keep the ph down. Sounds like what you're experiencing. The dry acid was cheap and came in small-ish containers, should last long time.
HTH.
SOURCE: My intex saltwater system pump is beeping
Yes, and be sure to keep up with your pH as it will want to rise slowly over time when using a salt water chlorine generator.

Can you clean your sells? Give that a try ... dont over salt your pool.
If you still have a question, consult your pool supplier. They are nice people.

I have a krystal Clear deluxe Satlwater system recently the water went green(lots of rain) I added more salt and have run the pump extra time. It is better but not back to normal. Do I have to shock it and how do I do that? What and how much do I put in for an soft set pool 18 x 48.
thank you
