Will oxidizing organics produce ions that would increase the conductivity of the water? I did a little research that had anecdotal evidence of this. Just wanted to know if anybody had ever run across the answer.
Water added to the pool to replace water lost to evaporation will increase the salt level.susa said:I've been tracking a couple pools, my own included, where we started from about 3800 ppm and since everything is automated, there are no "manual add-ons" of any chemicals or substances.
Salt levels have climbed in both pools to 4350-4450 ppm with IC40 cell flashing high salt (but still producing normal).
Good point. I forgot about that. I usually don't think of it because normally fill water is low in salt. It's usually calcium that is more of a concern for increasing Calcium Hardness (CH). Nevertheless, if the fill water has significant sodium chloride in it, then the chloride level will increase in the pool with evaporation/refill.JamesW said:Water added to the pool to replace water lost to evaporation will increase the salt level.
