The cure for anything is salt water: sweat, tears or the sea

[Sciz Milson]

Subject quote by Isek Dinesen...

Today we're talking about the next step in the Sciz Milson pool. Almost time for salt.

I did a strip test this morning and came up with app. 500 ppm as a baseline. The chart from the swcg manual calculates to the addition of 304 lbs of salt for the 12,500 gallon pool to obtain the recommended 3400 ppm.

Questions:

1. Should I add the salt in 2 - 3 increments with testing in between? I was thinking 100 lbs at a time.
2. Should I leave the pump/filter on filter or recirc during the salt addition process?
3. Should I go ahead and raise the CYA now (prior to salt addition), or wait until the swcg is fully operational and producing chlorine?

Thanks for any tips/tricks/comments/questions in advance.

Best,

Sciz

I would add about 3/4s of the salt, give it 24 hours to mix in, test again and adjust from there.

The pump should be run continuously for 24 hours after each addition of salt.

I would start raising the CYA level now, but not all the way up to the SWG target level. Aim for a CYA level of 60 for the moment.
