    Well, I went to Lowes today and purchased my salt (3-40lb bags) and took the above advise and went to the pool store and purchased a salt test kit. Boy, I'm glad I bought that test kit. My pool already had 600 PPM of salt in it already. Had I not tested FIRST, and followed the clacualtor figures, it would have been too salty. My pool is small; 14 x 28, so I added a 40 lb bag and tested a couple of hours later; 1000 PPM. I think I'll stop with that amount and she how it holds up.
