Tasting salt...

[sande005]

Been a happy SWCG owner now for a couple of months, and pool life has been perfect.
My TFP test kit always has showed salt to be at 3600, since I did the initial startup. SWCG says ~3800.
It definitely tastes salty. The wife can't taste it. The dogs don't seem to care. It is not really any concern to me.

Am I just lucky and have abilities far beyond those of mere mortals?

And hey - the other advantage - I can now float without an inner tube!

My wife notices the salt and I don't care as long as FC is being made. Ha.

005,

I start to taste the salt when it gets above 3400 ppm or so..

Funny thing is that I can only taste it for the first minute or so.. after that I never notice it again.

Thanks,

Jim R.

I think, the more salt in your normal diet, the less you can taste salt in the pool.

I taste the salt and my levels are around 2800, I think my family tastes it too.

My salt level is at 3400 ppm and I can taste it, but my wife and kids can't. If you do a search on Google scholar, you'll find that there are a plethora of articles that suggests there are lots of possible reasons for this ranging from age, to salt intake, and even the proteins in your saliva.

I’m going to go with “must be time for a margarita.”

Darn, not too many years left to find out if I have any superpowers!
