So I converted to salt just over a year ago, and ever since that conversion I've had issues with large salt particles collecting at bottom of pool, inside filter, and most annoyingly in my SWCG. These are large enough particles to where to can see them at night when the light is on coming out of the returns.
Yes, my CH levels are within range, actually on the low end, and those are tested using the kit everyone recommends here.
I used pool salt, specifically Morton's pool salt, to originally add salt to my pool, and that's the only I can pin the cause of these large salt particles.
Is this what's causing this? Just bad salt? Anyone have any experience with this or any other ideas?
I just got a new filter and this one doesn't grab the large particles as well as the old one, so now I am forced to clean my SWCG once a week as opposed to once a month with my old filter, which is just ridiculous.
So, I'm thinking a drain and refill is the only fix for this? I'd hate to do this and the salt not be the cause of this, but I honestly can't think of anything else. Any and all help or ideas are appreciated.
