First, do you have an AquaRite? If so, how old is the control panel?

It will change the display so that it reads ppm on the salt level. It will not recalibrate the salt level. Check out our guide titled "How To Recalibrate the Salt Level on a Hayward AquaRite".

Will this also reset my salt level to show 2700 again?
