    Cool Re: need to drain the pool

    You should not have to drain down the pool because your salt is around 3500ppm. You may need to drain down the pool because the water is laping at the top of the pool deck.

    The hose bib above the pump is intended for the purpose of having to drain the pool. Connect your garden hose here and with the pump on, open the hose bib slowly.

    What brand of salt chlorinator do you have? How old is it? Post a picture.

    It's an Aqua logic and it's brand new.

    Tag,

    Check with your SWG manufacturer. I think you'll find 3500 is possibly a little high but well within operating limits. I don't have an SWG so cannot comment accurately on what your issue really is but I don't think it's salt level.

    3500 is just a little bit high, but nothing I'd worry too much about. How many hours do you run the pumps, any idea what the gallonage is for your pool? Check system LED could also mean your cell needs to be inspected. Every 3 months, its a good idea to break the cell down and run a little water and muriatic acid and mix through to clean the plates.
