Salt related question

[oroepke1]

Hi everyone,

I have a question about salt levels. I live in Texas and need to add 1 inch of water or so to my pool every 2 weeks to make up for evaporation (I hope!). Weather has been cold (yes 50-60 degreers is cold), very dry and windy. I imagine the salt level would be a little different before and after refilling that inch opf water but how can they go down over time? Salt itself does not "evaporate"....

My pool is 4 months old, SWG, gunnite, 12,000 gallons.

I appreciate any help! Thanks a lot.

You are correct that salt will not leave the pool from evaporation

However, if you have been backwashing or have had lots of splashout, some of the salt would leave with the pool water.

If you are loosing 1" of water/ day to evaporation, you should see the salinity come up a little and then drop back down to normal once the pool is refilled.
