I would just have a 30 gallon tank that it would pump into, then I would empty it into the drain when it fills up. Seems like the only way I am going to make this happen. It should only need to regenerate maybe twice a month in the summer and much less the rest of the year, right?

Depends on your evaporation. It depends on surface area of pool, among other factors.
Ok well I can get a 55 gallon plastic drum, the brine can go into that, then I can empty it when it gets close to full. I can evenput a float sensor on it so I know when its time to dump it down the cleanout. To bad the pool couldnt use the brine, I assume once the SWG is running, the salt levels should stay the same?
Would an RO filter work?

When I say brine, it is concentrated calcium chloride brine. So adding it to the pool defeats the purpose.
An RO filter for what?
An RO filter for what?
RO to filter the pool makeup water. I guess it would be very expensive for the filter cartridges. I would just dump the brine down the cleanout.
So I am not sure of my next steps. I want to add the SWG but I assume I need to lower my salt a bit before that happens. I also assume i need to get the pool water more balanced, which I think its close. I will do another full set of tests today and see where I am at.
