    I’m running the Mineral Springs now since view weeks without adding any renewal into the pool and my water is in a very good shape. I test daily and beside the PH rising and a bit high TA everything is OK. I’m in the process to find the right output setting on the unit to get my CL into good levels and I’m getting better.
    A friend of mine never added renewal in he just adds salt in the spring and if the level goes down he add some more. I will see how my season goes but I don’t think I have to add anything if my figures are correct.

    You will most likely need to be adding muriatic acid on a regular basis. SWGs cause the pH to creep upward. If you bring your pH down to about 7.2-7.4 you will possibly find that your TA falls into line as well.
