Salt pool owners. How often do you add salt?

[Charlie227]

We converted our pool to a SWG pool last October. So far, the SWG says our salt level is ok in the 3500 range. It’s been tested a couple of times and the salt level is close to what the SWG says it is. We have never added salt.

What should I expect as to consumption and salt additions? Our pool is a Florida pool and we are now in the heat of the year.

Thanks.

The salt water chlorine generator (SWG) does not consume any salt. It converts it to chlorine and then it is recombined back into salt in the pool as the chlorine is used. The only salt you lose is due to backwashes or from splash out.
