How often is salt needed with SWG?

[mas985]

I think your neighbor needs to read up more on SWGs. The only way to reduce salt in the pool is through splash out or a leak. The chemical process is pretty well documented on this. http://www.goldlinecontrols.com/Elec...orination.aspx

Also, salt readings can be influenced by water temperature or scale on the cell so it is not unusual for the readings to be off. But it would be a good idea to check for leaks anyway.

That's what I thought. Thanks for the link.

My change in salt level must be due to the dilution from rain - if in fact I am lossing salt. I still have not confirmed that the (low salt) SWG readout is correct. I also posted a question regarding the PS234S salt test because that test says I have an plenty of salt in the pool. Your reply further confirms my suspicion that the SWG is not reading the salt levels correctly.

Thanks.
