    Converting to salt -- numbers seem high

    Oh boy. I logged another test today for all my numbers, but salt specifically was 1200. I definitely, definitely, definitely, did it to the 10 ml line. I'm thinking maybe I did the other ones wrong. That seems more likely than me having a ton of salt in my pool already? But I'm not totally sure...

    That's really crazy. It's relatively new water too; we just resurfaced in April.

    Converting to salt -- numbers seem high

    That's definitely possible, and it's exactly why I wanted to start testing before I made the switch. Gotta foolproof it against myself :LOL::LOL:

    Thanks for all the help everyone. I use the Taylor K-1766. I also use the 9265 Spped Stir Magnetic Stirrer, so I feel like my results are pretty accurate.

    Converting to salt -- numbers seem high

    Hey all, I'm looking to convert my pool from chlorine to SWG this weekend. I've been taking data just to make sure that I get the reps in with testing before making the switch. I've noticed a weird pattern with my salt levels, which seems to be a large fluctuation. This pool has been maintained...

    Preparing for Salt Start Up -- Recently finished pool

    Thanks -- any reason you recommend this over the pool-specific salt? I'm assuming it's just because it's softer?

    Yeah I read that it's easier with a salt cell. I feel like I'm fairly competent once I start to make sense of everything; it's just a bit intimidating to start. Thanks for sending those links over.

    Like the "Taylor Technologies 9265 SpeedStir"? My plan is to take over pool care. I'm a little hesitant to do it during swim season, so I may wait until late fall to do so. I also just may take the plunge. I can't decide. I just don't want to ruin swim season because I'm learning the ropes.

    Thanks for all this! Super helpful. I've got the Taylor K2006C but haven't actually used it. I chickened out and went with a pool service before we redid it.

    I've got the IC40; I'll add it to my signature.
