Low salt?

[carof77]

Hi

here are my numbers:

FC: 1.5
ph: 6.8
TA: 40
CH: 75
CYA: 30

i filled the pool yesterday with brook water (no delivery or town water line in my area)
I started the filter on recirculate this morning. Was waiting for pool filter sand, it arrived today. I'm going to fill the filter later tonight.
I put 150 lbs of salt (intex recommended 125lbs) and put cya as recommended.
I put the SWG on boost for 8 hrs, it's still running

i put my numbers in poolmath and I see I have a few things to add to the pool, but what I dont understand is why is my salt level so low?

Congrats on the new pool. Very nice job getting all that figured out!

Turn the SWG off for 24-48 hours after you add salt. It takes a while for the salt to dissolve and mix in well. Use bleach to raise FC to target for your CYA for now, Chlorine CYA Chart

Raise PH to 7.6 and TA to 60.
