I converted to a SWCG at the beginning of the year. It was installed by a local company (I frequent their pool supply store). The installer put in 16 40 lb bags of salt which would seem to be about the right amount if I didn't already have sodium in the water. The level ended up at about 4400 compared to the manual recommendation of a max of 3400 and the TFP max of about 3600. The guy at the pool store (who wasn't involved in the installation) said not to bother draining and refilling to get the level down. Off the top of my head, I think I would need to drain about 4000 gallons.
On a related note (perhaps), my pH climbs pretty rapidly where I have to add acid every two days. Is this related? TA is about 100 and CYA was 45 when I measured a month ago so I have to address those levels but I wanted to see if I should drain/refill first.
