Tonight I add salt to my non SWG above ground pool

"the theory was/is that SWG manufacturers usually recommend about 3000 ppm. Some of that salt is tied up when converted to chlorine, leaving a smaller part as true salinity. Therefore, putting only the amount in that would match what is present in an SWG pool minus the converted amount would most closely replicate the feel and ability to taste salt in SWG pools."

Very little salt is consumed in the process of producing chlorine. The higher salt level creates a conductivity in the water that is needed to pass the electricity within the cell.

Thanks Sean. Very interesting to learn.
