I am sure this question has been answered somewhere, but I haven't found it yet.
How much salt does using bleach add to the pool? baking soda?
In the next couple weeks we will be adding salt to use the new SWG. We have been using BBB for several years now and will be using a lot of bleach over the next little bit to clear the black/green pool. According to the information I have read on SWG, the salt stays in the pool and only dilutes with rain and refills or is backwashed out. So there should be some sodium level in my pool from using bleach consistently and having used some baking soda in the past.
Is my thinking even remotely accurate? Should I test the salt level before calculating how much salt to add? How often do I need to test the salt level?
