So why does this unit require almost twice as much salt as the typical SWCGs?

They are all different.

SWG is more efficient at higher salt levels, and down here we don't have those problems with salt corrosion that is so common in USA so majority of units have a recommended salt level around 5000-6500.

Only models specifically designed for overseas market have salt level of 3000

USA is pretty much the only country where 3000 is the norm.
