The assumption is the roller is not operating properly causing the flow rate to your sump to vary. Taking the roller offline can help determine if it is indeed the cause.

Yeah the level changes when the fleece gets full could it be the rollers setting that is off ?

there is a optical sensor that triggers the roller advance when the water level rises due to less flow through the dirty roll … is that sensor seated/ installed/ oriented correctly?

edit add: I don’t think there is that much water displacement from a 1200 to cause any significant salinity change, even in a small volume sump …pics?

I send photos when I get home from work the sensor is installed as it should be and the salanity changes because I caring set the ato right because the water level changes in return pump chamber It changes around 5 cm

Sounds like you are holding too much water inside the fleece unit before it advances.
You will have to lower the float sensor so the roller advances sooner.
