Gx:
I only add salt when the salt level is low. I have my own Taylor kit and do not rely on the diagnostics of the board reading, which is always 400-500 ppm higher. Add usually a few bags per year as I drain the pool to close for the winter. This year, I will keep my levels high and not drain, allow for rain water to top off. The most I spent on salt is about $15 per year.
If you have white steps, look at the water and clarity on the steps inside of the liner in the pool as you will be able to gauge the water clarity even better. You can also remove and place in a clean flower vase, again to visually see the clarity of the water. If unclear, then you have something going on out of the ordinary.
Have you tried using a DE alternative? Thanks!
