It's awesome swimming in the salted water in our pool...

It should be about 5 ppt salt, about the same as the bay, up in the
North East spur past Baltimore (or the Potomac around Port Tobacco).

Ok... I just poured in what the directions said and it was good... The
computer in the chlorinatior took care of the percentages

Gregg is wrong. I don't know what "ppt" is, but your pool and mine are
not salt water. They have a relatively small amount of salt (about
3,000 parts per million or "ppm") that is used to generate chlorine.

The bay he is talking about has more like 35,000 parts per million of salt.
