My 14 year old told me to post this:
Is it weird to lick the coping? For the purpose of tasting the salt.
What say ye?
Lolol

If a person is eating excessive salt, they might have a disorder or some sort of mineral imbalance in their diet.
Many farmers provide a salt lick for their animals.

Just came here for the comments.
There is a way to do a poll like in this thread.

How often do you test your pool water? (poll)
Since I replaced my pool water a few weeks ago and finally bought a Taylor K2006A test kit, I've been testing every day. I don't always to CH or CYA, but I always do FC, CC, PH, TA. Is that excessive or normal? Wondering what others do....

It's only weird if the person licking the coping thinks it's weird.
Thanks, but clicking "More Options" as instructed in that post, doesn't actually result in me seeing any more options!vBulletin Features

How do you attach this to your coping? If you use duct tape that’s weird because everyone knows duct tape shouldn’t be used for ducts…But if you use flex tape, well you should be congratulated and Phil Swift will be boating in on his screen door to give you a trophy for your ingenuity.
Well I mean. Now that you point it out, it's more accurate than pool store testing. So there is that.
I'm thinking there could be a market for some kind of holder. Maybe one that could replace the skimmer lid? That way, when it gets splashed or water drips on it from the licking, the salt can slowly dissolve into the pool.
Same 14 year old told me that our water was way nicer than the water at his (wealthy) friend's pool because ours doesn't sting his eyes. He also doesn't get ear infections from our pool, whereas he always did at the friend's house when he lived closer and swam there more frequently. They use the pool store service for all their cleaning, etc.
So I've got that going for me.
Unfortunately, he also said he didn't taste their coping, so no word on how that compares.

So, now I have significant doubts about efficacy of the TFP method. My faith can’t be restored without a report on the taste of the friend’s pool’s coping.
