The 40 Lb. Salt bags that I buy have the words "480 ppm when dissolved in 10,000 gallons of water". Using this formula as a baseline, If you have 27,000 gallons, one 40# bag should increase your PPM's by approximately 175 ppm.
The actual amount of water in the pool affects this formula.
If four 40Lb. bags took you from 1900 to 2800, I would say each bag is raising your PPM's by approximately 225 PPM. This tells me your actual water volume is closer to 22,000 ish Gallons.
Exactly what is your desired Salt level in PPM's?
Hope this helps.

If you can afford a swimming pool and computer, you can probably afford to help keep the PoolForum alive. Please be a responsible member and subscribe today. You'll probably save more than the membership fee on your first trip to the pool store. BTG
