I want to preface the discussion with I am not a Chemist...
Sodium Hypochlorite's chemical formula is NaClO. When breaking down organic compounds (killing) in a pool, is the "NaCl" portion of the formula spent, the "ClO", or is it the Oxygen that helps sterilize the bacteria? I'm curious if I convert my pool from liquid chlorine to a SWG if I'll need less actual salt, or if the increase in TDS is from the sodium (which I doubt since it's reactive in water). The reason I ask is I don't want to do a water change if I don't have to, but willing to if it's required. I anticipate my TDS being high with the CH @ 350 ppm and then adding addition Pool Salt for the conversion to a SWG.
Taylor 2006K results:
FC: 4-5
pH: 7.4-7.7
CH: 350
TA: 90
CYA: 70
I know I'm liking overthinking it and getting in the weeds here, but I did post this in the "Deep End". Appreciate your time...
