Sound to me that you added wat to much salt.
If you are using a salt test kit that eads in colors throw it away and get a kit that reads in #.s
If you are using the one with #'s then proceed to getting your water to as close to 3000ppm as possible
Drain 20 % water ad fresh and check again keep doing this ti'll you get close to the 3000ppm
any lower than 2800 and you can read low salt and worse of all you will not produce enough chlorine any higher than 3500 and you will go cloudy and read high
It is my opinion that you were low salt and then adding to much salt put you to far to high
remeber anytime you add salt you should filter only for 12-24 hours to distribute the salt properly so the unit knows what it is reading
While adjusting your salt level clean your new cell with vinegar let it soak for a few hours You should have received a cap to cover one end of the cell while soaking
once cleaned it will not grab hold of the salt water until the generator is turned on
Just remeber 3000ppm
SOURCE: the cell does not read the correct salt level
Test your salt level with a Taylor salt kit to see what the actuall PPM is. You should be betwen 3200 and 3700. There is that possibility that your cell has developed a fault. Kit available at your pool supply place.
Is your filter clean? This can cause false readings on the board due to lack of flow. Start there. If you still have the same problem, take the cell in for testing. Salt cells usually last 5 years or so. But regular cleanings can extend this. They will also send false readings if they are going out. What is the reading you are supposed to have for your system? Most run best at 3000 ppm up to 3500. You said 4500? Is that the requirement for your cell?
