The solar panels bumped the temp about another5-6 degrees today. Now 81.
Took the plunge. Brisk at first. The water was not so gentle feeling as last year.

Last fall after close up I drained about 10" to clear the jets and it fill up so I took out a bit more before freeze up. Say 13" now. This spring with the snow melt I drained off another 4-5". Now its up 3-4" high again. So there has been a significant dilution of the salt. Tha's when I concluded that the number I got last year must have been 2200. So today I downloaded the Autopilot manual for the SWG and it will run at 2500. I was almost there last year. They say
3000 is ideal.

You might not have much to worry about on the steel frame for the vinyl lined pool.
1) It might be well protected by a good seal on the concrete walk ... if there is one.
2) if its will galvanized or otherwise protected, it might tolerate a lot of salt with little to no corrosion.
From here I don't know and if you got your pool like we got ours, inherited when we bought the house, you may never know.

Why do I feel like I'm being no help at all to you.

Anyway, good luck with it.
