I just installed a SWG and Iguess I should have checked my pool's salt level before I added the salt, or I need to double-check the volume of the pool, because I have too much salt in there. The SWG says there's 4000-4200 ppm and Leslie's tested the water and said it's at 5210 ppm (not sure why the difference).
So, the question is; do I need to do anything about this? I assume the level will go down slowly over time due to splashing and backwashing, but we really don't splash or backwash much, so that might take a while. Is there any downside to high salt levels? There's no metal anywhere in the pool; no fittings, no valves, nothing. The pool is in-ground, fiberglass, about 30,000 gallons (I think).
Thanks,
John
