Well been running since Thursday morning and everything went great. Got the Aquarite installed in about an hour and started adding salt Wednesday. Lenny took your advice and bought a Taylor test kit before adding salt and you were correct. I already had 600 ppm so that subtracted 3 bags. I used the Solar water conditioner salt from Lowes for 4.00 a bag. It was 99.5% pure with no iron additives or anything like that. Worked fine no staining or anything but I did add a metal sequesterant before the salt just in case.

I think I'm really gonna like this system.. My salt is at 3300ppm and the Aquarite set at 30%. I'm running the pump 11 hours a day. My CL is holding at 4-5 ppm so I'll probably dial it down a little further...
