We bought our house in September so this is our first season of ownership. We decided to switch to salt after lugging jugs for a month. We bought a Circupool RJ60 (after reading reviews here) and 17 bags of salt. Current test shows 600ppm currently in the water. Water is green..we are opening on Saturday.
I’m reading a lot about salt cells not working in cold temps. We live in Pennsylvania and don’t have a water heater.
My questions-
1. Was going salt a good choice if we’re going to have to lug jugs for half the season due to cooler temps? Can anyone from the northeast comment on this?
2. I bought Diamond Crystal solar naturals salt. Will this work?
3. Is it possible to power down the cell and just run the pump? Does this interfere with how the cell holds up?
4. How warm should the water be before we add salt and fire up the system?
I’m hoping we haven’t made a mistake by going the salt route. We’re doing our best to have a great first season. I’m currently soaking our filters because a mouse moved in and made a nest over the winter. We had a pool company close for us and they didn’t put the filter plug back. Mouse family moved in :/
Thanks for your help!!
