    Exclamation Apex reporting salt is high when its not

    my apex keeps sending me an alarm that my salt is high:

    Apex Controller:
    (Apex Fusion Alarm: apex) Date: 2017-09-06 13:22:39 -0700
    Status: ON
    Statement: If Salt > 37.0 Then ON (35.5)

    what's weird is the condition isn't true.... any ideas this seems like a bug

    Mine always reads low. That probe is very sensitive and can be effected by interference from other power wires. Try re reporting the probe wires so its no where near other wires

    I'd try re-calibrating it. Also have you put it into a 35ppt solution to see what it reads at?

    Mine did the same thing. Recalibrated multiple times. No change. Made sure there were no air bubbles trapped underneath. That helped a little. What I finally found was stray voltage from UV sterilizer. That was back in December and It's been fine ever since.

    Interesting. Someone mentioned this on another thread. Also that ozonizers might cause similar glitches. I have an ozonizer plugged into my Apex and have not experienced any weird bugs like this, but it's something to watch out for.
