First problem is the swing arm. How long have you had it? I know that over time the readings drop so when you have 1.022 SG on the swing arm it could actually be 1.032 in reality.

I have had many over the years...in fact I had 3 that all gave me different readings, then when I took it to a LFS (I won't say the name, not a sponsor though) they gave me a reading and I said "how do you know your swing arm isn't broken?" then they grabbed 2 additional ones and all 3 of theirs were reading way off. Also, I got premixed water from them so...yeah...no absolutes there other than "who knows what the SG is?"

You need to find out what your SG is. Take a sample to one of the local sponsors and have them test your water. All of our sponsors...from what I've seen test with a refractometer.
