    2 month old pool using 3 bags of salt per week

So in conclusion what I am hearing that if my ~ 1 inch loss of water per day was due to evaporation I still would not have to add salt...so being that I am still having to add salt I still need to look further into a leak?...or does the salt degrade from...
