    Nope, I don't have a SWG.
    I have thought about one but I haven't jumped on board that train.
    I have only ever added a mixture of city water and well water at the first fill, then only city water since to keep the level. Bleach, liquid Chlorine, baking soda, Muriatic acid, Yellow-out, and about 4 doses of all-in one algaecide till I found this site.
    I take it that the salt level is from the bleach?
    The pool has only been up and running since 8/06.
    Thanks for your help
