Hello PoolForum-ites,

Looking for feedback from salt pool owners to the following questions:

What type of pool finish do you have?
Vinyl In-ground, Vinyl Above Ground, Inground Plaster, exposed aggregate, tile.
Gunite/Plaster

How old is your system?
A bit over a year old.

What Salt level do you maintain?
Currently it is 3500ppm. Next year, I am going to lower it to 2900 to avoid problems with my solar. When solar turns on, the water is very hot and makes the salt reading go up and turn off the SWG.

What are the benefits you're experienced from switching to salt?
Don't have to handle chlorine and maintenance is reduced.

What are the problems you've experienced since switching to salt?
Solar issue above and I get salt on the edge of the pool (white residue)from splash out.

How often do you have to clean your cell from calcium scale?
I have only had to spray the cell out every three months. I have not yet soaked it in acid. I have tried to keep the chemistry right to limit amount of cleaning.

How often do you test your water?
Once a week in the summer and once every two weeks in winter.

Thank you!

Just curious as to your objective.
