[QUOTE=Poolsean]Hi Roger,



Adding more salt will not make the water softer. In fact, the added salt doesn nothing to make the water softer. That is a matter of the calcium hardness level. The salt gives you the "soft water feel" by being closer matched to your bodies natural salinity level.
BTW, what is your calcium hardness level? Chances are if these are high, it may offset the soft water feel.

Just want to jump in and clarify something on this one. More salt WILL definitely make the pool water feel softer and silkier. There is a huge difference between the feel of a 3000 ppm pool and a 6000 ppm pool. Just like there is a huge difference between a non-salt pool and a salt pool. Our body salt concentration is 9000 ppm so in all honesty, that would be the most comfortable pool. The problem is that once you get to salt levels like that, it is too salty for most people
