Adding salt to pool for conditioning without a SWG?

[jellyfish]

Hi all,
My daughter has found that swimming in friend's salt water pools helps her skin eczema greatly. We do not have a SWG. Is there any reason why I couldn't just add 3,000 ppm of salt to my pool without a SWG? I would also keep a Zinc ball (sacrificial Zinc anode) in the skimmer basket just to protect my ladder from corrosion.

No reason at all. A couple years back, adding salt for feel was all the rage here. I think they target 2000 ppm. Use the search function on "salt for feel"

You might want to have the salt level tested, because as bleach gets used up it leaves salt behind and you may already have a good bit of salt in the water. You won't need so much.

No more than 2500, you can start to taste it above that level. +1 on Richard comment, test before you add, you might already be up to 1000ppm and dont even know it.
