Maybe I should post under my old thread, but they sometimes do not get picked up again.
When we had our SWG calibrated the salt was at 3400ppm. I just tested our salt this morning and it is still at 3400ppm..good thing I guess (Ph was at 7.5 and CL at 3.0). Although to be honest with you, we have not run the SWG all that much b/c for some reason, when we got back from vacation and I added more bleach to shock the pool, the CL levels remained steady at 6.0 for almost two weeks. I couldn't do that all summer long. Guess that shows how much "stuff" the landscapers were getting in the pool while working. The chlorine was just eating the organics up.
However, I really would like to get the salt levels down...the pool water is VERY salty (tasting). I know you are not supposed to drink the pool water...LOL.
How can I get my salt levels down yet still have the SWG add the needed chlorine? What would happen if I changed the calibration down to 3000ppm?
Thx.
