Okay -- I understand. So I should bring my CYA levels up to normal first, and if I'm still not seeing adequate chlorine, I can take it from there. Right now, the generator has been running at 100% with the filter on for about 4.5 hours, and the chlorine levels are still barely being picked up by my liquid test kit. I did a test right at the return and I do get a higher reading there, so I know chlorine is being produced, just not holding.

I just converted to a salt system myself. I just want to make sure I understand correctly -- you're saying that we should really try not to ever use the superchlor function on the salt cell?? And that if we need to shock, we should only use liquid chlorine?? I'm stunned -- the main reason, after all my research, that I decided to switch to salt was that I would never have to handle noxious chlorine ever again! The only reason I was considering adding powdered shock (Leslie's PowerPowder Pro) was because the CYA is low (since the pool was just filled). I was then planning on giving away all my chlorine products!
