I replaced the failed PCB with PL7100. Despite going through the rest on the salt reading it only reads 1900-2000 PPM when strip test show 3200-3300 PPM. Salt cell observed bubbling in a bucket before reinstalling. Its age is unknown but visually clean.

reset not "rest" on salt reading.

If you have recalibrated the salt then what you are describing is commonly due to a cell that has failed or is failing. When the amperage is showing low as the average range is about 20-30 then we recommend having a test done on the cell. There are local retailers such as Leslies pools or Pinch a Penny that have been provided with a test panel for those cells. When a cell goes bad they will not read the salt level correctly. The average call lasts between 3-5 years.
