    I have no salt level at all yet. They just came and changed my liner and fresh filled the pool. I am more worried about the salt disolving with low water temp. Yesterday the pool temp on the thermometer was 68 F. We had a cool night and even with my solar blanket on it was down to 65F this morning. Sun is out today so hope to get a little heating.

    Don't wait for the salt to dissolve before you get chlorine in the pool--with a fresh fill, you'll have zero CYA, and algae will start up quicker than you can imagine!!

    At 68° F You should be good to add your Salt now. Colder temps will affect the efficiency of the SWCG unit, but the Water temp should not impede the salt from dissolving. I agree with Aylad, get some liquid going and add the salt AND THE CYA.
