Re: Can you reduce or eliminate salt taste in a chlorine poo
I use winter rain overflow where I live to dilute the water each year. This keeps the salt level in the roughly 1000-1500 ppm range and it doesn't taste salty to me, but everyone has a different taste sensitivity. For chlorinating liquid and bleach, for every 10 ppm Free Chlorine (FC) you add you are also increasing the salt level by 17 ppm when accounting for chlorine usage/consumption. So at 2 ppm FC per day, that's an increase in salt of about 100 ppm per month. Adding acid also adds to salt (chloride). You can only keep the salt level down through dilution of the water. Don't forget also that for plaster pools where you may add calcium chloride to increase Calcium Hardness (CH), you may start off with 350 ppm salt even if you started from scratch.
