We are converting our pool over to a salt water system next week. We will have the new Intellichlor Plus Model. I have gotten pretty good at pool chemicals and maintenance thanks to TFP. Now I feel like I’m starting all over again. Any tips, tricks or helpful info on a salt water pool would be appreciated!

There is really very little difference between your pool now, and after you add the SWCG.. Instead of manually adding chlorine, the SWCG will just do that for you.
You just need to understand how your SWCG works.. They are basically dumb as rocks, because they have no brain.. You must be the cell's brain. It is up to you to routinely test your FC level and then adjust the cell's output up or down depending on the results..
You might want to initially test more often, and then as you get to know your pool, you can can test less and less..
It is best to try not to micromanage your SWCG. Trying to maintain a specific FC number each day is impossible.. It is easier to keep your FC at or above your Target FC.. Never try to keep your FC between your minimum and your Target.
I love my saltwater pool and I think you will love yours also..
