I recently installed a heater. Never had one before, living in hot south Florida, never really needed one, but I decided to add one to keep temps a little bit warmed in the house with air conditioning.
I have been check the temps today and I noticed that my salinity kinda follows it. I know salt sensors aren't all that great, but check this out.

I just installed the heater yesterday. The salt has been following the temp for a while now. It just wasnt as dramatically noticable until after installing the heater.
Is something causing it to follow the heat? Is there something I can do to fix it? Is it even broken?
Thoughts?

I think your on to something here! Yes, as water changes temperature it's density also changes which effects salinty
