15,000 gallon in ground pool, 10' x 40' x 4', 9 years old
Initial installation of pool was not good. Had 2 lights. First light had leak from the beginning but was, reluctantly, fixed by installer. Had to add water from the beginning but more and more as time went on. Last fall, under supposition that the liner was leaking, we got a new liner. It turned out that the second light was also leaking (1" +/- per day). This history got me used to adding a lot of salt. With the new liner, starting this spring, the salt reading was 3,300 (BioGuard system). After 3 months the salt reading is now 3100 (almost no water had to be added - some rain). Chlorine stabilizer reading is spot on. Chlorine levels test OK.
I am not used to not adding salt. I wonder if the reading from the generator is not accurate? Or, am I worrying too much?
I tried to present the info as briefly as possible. If more is needed, yell!
TIA
Stephen
