I have the Aquarite system and the salt readings I take from the control unit. First the unit has worked for 4 years now without incident. I do taste a small amount of salt but It's not considered a salty taste. Every year I add at least 200+ lbs of salt to my 45k gallon IG vinyl liner pool. I always find it amazing how much salt you need to add to get the level to 3200 ppm when its first opened for the season.

No one has ever complained about the taste. I am lucky that my pool ph & chemistry is always very steady throughout the season and unless it rains for several days I don't have a lot to do except empty the skimmers and make periodic water quality checks.
