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.
Interesting.

So you were up to 2200 pm of salt last year, quite a bit less than the ideal recommendation, but could taste it? From other things I've read I didn't think it was supposed to be tasted at SWG concentrations.

I had about 5 minutes to jump in the pool last night after putting the other bag of salt in. It didn't feel much different, but I was in a hurry and may not have had my placebo high enough I had also added muratic acid to lower ph/alk yesterday afternoon, so that may have been it. I plan to leave it alone (salt wise) for awhile and see how it feels and if anyone else notices.
