Last summer we drained our pool to tackle a full acid wash. Once it was sparkly white we re-filled with water and got CC and Ph to a reasonable level. I'm ashamed to admit I didn't test anything else, nor did I concern myself with CYA levels. You'd think I'd have known better. Got serious...

When I backflush, I run a flat hose out to the front lawn to discharge the water. If I were to go to a SWG system would I still be able to discharge onto the lawn, or would the salt content wreck the grass?
