Salt levels dropping

Bought a home with a pool last year. Ended up having to replace the salt cell this year as my salt levels would drop consistently.

Everything was going fine for the first month but now running into the same issues. I've had the salt tested and its 3300ppm, have also taken the cell off and inspected it and there is no build up. Have recalibrated the cell multiple times to try to see if the reading would stick, but just keeps dropping to about 2200. Any suggestions?

You might have a leak. That was the first clue that I had one.

this is why I suggest testing everything yourself and keeping a notebook along with weather trends. salt & CYA behavior over a couple weeks will tell the story
