    Not sure where you live. Here in the northeast, we will probably get between 15 and 20" of precip between now and opening in the spring, so if it was me, I would leave it!

    My own pool of about 17K gallons is running with 3800-3900 PPM salt right now. It had been up to 4100 after I had a run-in with mustard/yellow algae and had to do mega-chlorinations with bleach, which added to my salt level.

    Time, splashouts from my waterfall and a "rain drain" have all combined to reduce my salt level. As long as my system is not flashing "high salt" at me, I'm just leaving it alone.

    For my own pool, my initial level of salt in the pool came from the bleach I had been using to manually chlorinate the pool prior to the SWCG becoming operational. I tested my city water and it did not register any salt on my test (PS 234S).
