ArtCan,

What the salt system does is make your system maintenance easier because you don't have to add stuff, but it is STILL incumbent on you to test your water religiously. You'll need to monitor the CYA (stabilizer) /FC relationship AND monitor salt levels as well. I believe most of the units have a salt level sensor, but, again, I'm not the expert. Some people report that pH tends to rise as well so they find they periodically have to add acid.

Almost all of our members who have salt-water chlorine generator systems LOVE them! We consider them proven, effective technology, not a gimmick.
