Question

Is the ""low salt"" and ""high salt"" determined in the RJ-45 Plus salt generating cell? I have lately have had the controller show ""low salt"" and ""check cell"" and I have carefully cleaned the cell as instructed 3 times in the last 4 weeks CircuPool® RJ-45 PLUS Replacement Cell Salt Cells

. After cleaning, it show the salt at approx 3500 and everything is fine...for 3 to 5 days and then it again shows ""low salt"" and ""check cell"". Is the problem with the cell or the Control Module. I have had the system since early June of 2017. When it is working, the chlorine generation is great (usually set at 55%), but as soon as the ""low salt"" and ""check cell"" signals, I get little to no salt until I clean the cell. I can't believe the cell needs replacing, unless it's due to errors that are not related to needing cleaning. Please advise.

That is a tell-tale sign of a ""High Saturation Index"" water chemistry situation. When the salt system reads low and requires cleaning, it is at the mercy of that water balance. You'll need to clean it as frequently as needed for now, but you can get it back to normal and have much less frequent cleanings.
