Pool startup and need to understand SWCG levels going forward

[SteveTech]

Evening.. SO I been heating up the pool so the kids can swin during break and I might keep the heater going for a week or two. with warmer weather starting to head in after that. With that said, been only shocking / acid to the pool to keep chems in place, but now time to add Salt and get the SWCG up and running. Outisde of adding salt, I need help understanding how to set the salt levels in screen logic. I am going to add salt tomorrow, and inside of SL, both the spa and pool are at 10% (been low salt / cold water cutoff)

What should the setting be? I run the pool about 7 hours a day, 50 GPM, and the spa for about an hour during that window. So a little guidance would be greatly appreciated..

Use Effects of Adding Chemicals in PoolMath to set the SWCG to create the chlorine each day that your pool uses.

Adding salt and letting the Kids stir it up by swimming might be fun

That SWCG is small for your pool volume, so be prepared to run your pump more hours per day than you do now.
