SWG salt keeps creeping up

[doriec]

I have had my SWG for a week now. It is everything fans say it is. I love the feel of the water and it beats lugging bleach.

I was surprised how much salt bleach added to the water. Over three years, salt strips showed that the pool had accumulated 2100 ppm salt. (I had heavy bather load). After checking with the manual, I added 6 bags of salt to the 27000 gal. pool to bring the water up to 3200.

After running for a week, the salt level has slowly climbed to 3900. I figured after running it 24 hours, it would stop rising. I wonder how high it will go and at what level it will shut the aquarite down. Any guesses? What should I do? Thanks, Dorie

The salt meter is reading a consistent 3900 ppm. Dorie

It may have taken all this time to dissolve the salt, or you may have had a change in temperature, especially going up to change the value.
