    New T-15 salt at 5,800

    well.... wouldn't you get an error message if the unit didn't like that high a level ? if the system doesn't object, whats the downside except a little bit of a salt taste ? it will eventually sort itself out , right ?

    galvanic corrosion

    i understand the theory and the concept... but in the absence of any measureable voltage at any level betwen any two of anything, where is the current flow coming from ? and what are you suggesting as far as hooking a positve lead to the pool ? ... that sounds insane to me.
