I added a SmarterSpa SWG today. Before I added the salt, my Taylor Salt Test and test strip showed about 1200 PPM of salt. I added 2.5 cups of pool salt to my 400 g. tub and it brought it up to 1800 PPM. The Smarter spa indicates that salt is in the correct range which they say is 1500--2000 PPM. Is it bad my salt PPM was so high before adding salt? Should I refill? Where did so much salt come from?
The details of my water are below....
I have a 400 g. hot tub that was drained about a 2 months ago with 2 Ahh-Some purges. I have used the diclor/chorine method AND Nature2 with about CYA at 25. The only additional chemicals I have added are Boric acid to 50 PPM, Acid magic (muriatic acid), dry acid to lower Ph, baking soda once, hydrogen peroxide once (to lower chlorine) and the weekly Ahh-some product (not the purge product). I fill my tub from outside spigot but use inside spigot for top offs but I don't think my water softener is working at all. I live in Minneapolis.
