I've been using the pool calculator to estimate my pool needs since it was built a couple months ago, and the results are spectacular so far. I have a non-swg pool (bbb method), and have no added salt.
My question is this: I just realized via the pool calculator that bleach and/or liquid chlorine add salt when you use it. I would rather avoid salt in my pool for various reasons, but according to the calculator, I'll have accumulated 1000ppm salt in 9 months at the current rate I'm adding bleach. I don't backwash because I have a cartridge filter, so it would seem the only way to keep my salt level down would be to drain water.
Am I missing something?
