Have you ever calibrated? If not then its still possible its wrong.
However, depending on your salt, some needs to sit 24hrs to fully dissolve, like H2Ocean. If I use mine right away I can guarantee salinity swings.
Also, do you turn your ATO off before water change? Maybe its pumping extra top off in while you remove dirty water. Just a thought. Maybe you are not adding EXACT amounts of new water to removed water and then ATO is diluting to bring top up to correct water level?
Just think the solution is a simple fix.
Good luck.
Just makes no sense at all that the ATO is doing it.
