I was quite surprised today. I have used the same water for 5 seasons now. I knew my water had a salt taste to it, so i decided to get a Taylor test kit and check it. 6000 ppm !
Should i be worried about this?Every gallon of 10% liquid chlorine you used added 18 ppm of salt.
Looks like you used over 300 gallons of LC in the last 5 years.
Should i be worried about this?
After looking at pool math “effects of adding”, if i installed a swg, it would add about half the amount of salt to the water as the equivalent amount of LQ (ppm wise)Salt levels over 5,000 ppm can cause corrosion on metals around your pool.
I might be concerned with your Coverstar mechanism.
To lower the salt level you need to exchange water with fresh water.

On pool math, .3lbs of chlorine gas raises the fc 4ppm and salt 3.3ppm. .35 gallons of 10% LQ adds 3.9ppm fc, and 6.4ppm salt. I’m i looking at this wrong?I am not sure what you are saying.
A pool with a SWG needs around 3000ppm of salt. Then that salt level is maintained.
I’m i looking at this wrong?
that’s what i didYes.
Go to "Effects of Adding" --> "SWG"

No. You're looking at "Chlorine Gas". You need to select "SWG".that’s what i did
you are right. thanksNo. You're looking at "Chlorine Gas". You need to select "SWG".
