High Salinity Dilution Engine
How to Lower Pool Salt Level (Dilution Calculator)
When salinity exceeds 4,000 PPM, salt chlorinator cells shut down to prevent overheating. Since salt does not evaporate, you must drain a calculated portion of water and refill with fresh water.

Chemical Addition Protocol
1
Turn off salt chlorinator (SWG) cell for 24 hours while salt dissolves.
2
Scatter salt bags evenly around the perimeter deep end. Never dump in skimmer.
3
Brush floor with pool brush until dissolved; run pump continuously for 24 hours.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do you calculate how much water to drain to lower pool salt?
Formula: Drain Percentage = (Current PPM - Target PPM) / Current PPM. For example, from 4,000 PPM to 3,200 PPM, drain (4,000 - 3,200) / 4,000 = 20% of your pool water.
