Yes, the CYA level in a Salt pool is high for the FC level but the chlorine is being introduced into the water at such high concentrations in the cell that it is constanly being superchlorinated when the cell is generating. Comparing this to a pool being manually chlorinated is comparing apples to oranges.

As far as pH goes. If they are letting their pH get up to 7.9 that is just bad pool maintenance since EVERY SWG manufacturer I have ever seen recommends keeping the pH at 7.2 to 7.6, some even specify 7.2 to 7.4! The pH, as you have seen with the Bartier index, is the MOST important factor.
