Last year I installed my SWG and it seems to be working great so far. But I keep noticing that I get alerts the salt level is low. I've learned this just means the SWG is clogged or dirty and needs to be rinsed out. Recently I started getting this more frequently. It seems like every week. It would seem to me that the filter basket or the filter should be stopping this stuff from entering my SWG in the first place. What am I doing wrong here?

Whit,

None of that stuff should be making it through your filter... :scratch:

Something is wrong...

The first thing to do is open the filter and see what things look like..

Looking at the pic of your filter and its location, I'm guessing that you don't open it often.. :mrgreen:

Thanks,

Jim R.
