We have an inground saltwater pool. Leslie’s advised me 2 weeks ago to add 2 bags of salt. Stupid me didn’t bother to check the pool myself. Shouldn’t have added any. Salt should be at about 3400 I’m told. I just drained a foot of water from pool and then refilled. Have added nothing but water. Salt content went from 4500 to 4800 according to my Jandy handheld PDA. HELP!!!!
Toooo much salt in pool

Welcome to the forum!
Can you fill out your signature so we know what pool type, volume, and equipment you have? See Create Your Signature - Further Reading
Most SWCG will either say high salt and not run or can compensate for the high salt and continue to generate chlorine.
I suggest you read ABC's of Pool Water Chemistry.

You need a proper salt test kit like the K-1766. That said, your Jandy SWG is fairly accurate as long as it is working properly. Unfortunately, the only way to lower salt is to do a partial water change. Jandy SWGs specify max of 3500. What model SWG do you have?
