My salt level is at 5000ppm. Will I damage anything?
Background:
When I opened the pool my Pentair IC60 SWG said 0% on my Intellitouch screen. Not doing any research as to whether that might be a problem, I did the Pool Math and found that I “needed” 600lbs of salt. After adding the salt I realized the sensor is bad. That’s a different problem.
My salt level is presently at 5000ppm. I have been lowering the water level by siphoning with a garden hose every night but that’s taking a long time. I can dump a lot of water by backwashing the DE filter but that leaves a trail of DE in the street that leads right to my house. I usually try to time my backwash with a rainstorm. Im
Going out of town for a week. Can my pool sit at 5000ppm for another week or should I risk the backwash with no rain in the forecast?
