im in the same situation, mine is around the 2800 mark, I guess if you add it now or add it later, you still have to add it.

I agree with Richard. Running the cell with low salt (every manufacturer has a low salt warning or cut off point) will do damage to the cell.

As the pool is going to be closed within a week, I'd say let it be (unless the 'low salt' light is on). This includes the presumption that you will be draining some water prior to closing, if you aren't going to lower the water - add some salt.
My thinking is that it would be a 'waste' (), to add more salt when you are going to dump some of it out w/i a week - if the unit is only running 5 hrs/ day, at a 10% output, the cell is only running 30 min/ day for 5 or 6 days. I would rather save that salt for the spring when it will be used all season (I know that a larger amt will be needed in the spring to compensate for the unsalinized water which brings the pool back up to 'operational level', but why 'waste' the salt now?)
Nice sharing a thread with y'all again!![]()

Thanks. The pool will be completely closed and covered for the winter this coming Wednesday so the unit will not be on at all in the winter. I'll wait until spring.
