Ok, just a heads up those test strips might not be reading correctly. They can go bad for several reasons including age and humidity. You might not be getting a reading because the strips are not working as intended.
Not saying they are bad, just saying you might want to get a second test to confirm it's not just the strips not reacting properly

Another noob question. I’m getting a lot of white marks on the cabinet and steps. I assume this is from the salt water and is completely normal. Any preferred method to clean other than a wet rag?

Is that 60 minutes per person and if so, how many people? If multiple people 60 minutes each, then that is heavy use which would require a higher output setting and even could require you supplement the salt system with a bit of chlorine every now and then.

Maybe 2 people total. The usage will go down considerably, it’s still new :). Chlorine was at about a 5 today after my wife used it for 30-45 minutes last night, at a 10 setting. I moved it down to a 9, and we probably won’t use it tonight.

Used the tub last night after 3 idle days. We had 3 people each with about 30 minutes of use each.
Before going in the Chlorine was reading about a 5. This morning, 14 hours after use it was reading between .5-1. My salt setting is currently at a 7. Does this sound like everything is operating as normal? Should I see the chlorine go up slowly over the next several hours? I wanted to use the tub again tonight, but really don’t want to be adding bleach every time.
