Goldline says salt too high?

[Poolsean]

AutoPilot does not recommend the use of the Generic Cell and will not cover any damage or issues resulting from the use of such. I'm sure the other Manufacturers feel the same.

The Goldline unit estimates a salt reading, based on the amps and volts to the cell. For it to indicate a higher than normal salt reading, it sounds like something is shorting out, like a blade or two within the cell are touching. Or the space between the cell blades are closer than an original Hayward cell.

Sorry, that is the extent that I will support any issues from the use of a generic cell.

My suggestion is to replace it with the original cell from Hayward and get your money back on the generic cell.

Thanks, have a replacement on order. Generic cell worked fine for a year, then it had a failed temp sensor, but found some other comments about people having similar issues with the false high salt readings..
