I've read a bit on this SWG forum.....and have seen what alot of you are posting about which salt to buy......but I had a more specific question....
What about Morton's Table Salt? (Not ionized....just regular)
I've read here on one, maybe two, threads about how pretty much any salt could be used.....but before I read all this, a friend had suggested to me to buy from Sam's Club the bags of Mortons Table Salt....food grade salt.
So, I did. I bought a few 25lb bags at $1.38/each.
I put 2 bags (that's 25lb X 2) into my 5k gal pool.
I did neglect to buy salt test strips....so that's why I only put the 2 bags in vs the recommended 125lb that the SWG manual suggested for my pool. I am going out first thing tomorrow am to get some from my local pool store to check the salt level before adding more salt or starting the SWG.
Anyway......my question is.......does the water always look a bit cloudy immediately after putting salt in? Currently it appears a bit cloudy. I put it in about 6pm.....and as the manual suggests, I am running the filter for 24hrs before turning on the SWG.
I will accept any suggestions/positive critisim..........I realize we all make mistakes......
I just want a happy pool w/ as little maint. as possible!!
TIA!!
