does this unit "overdo" the amount of salt being ground? watching salt intake here; does this afford control without too much salt coming out?

I know what you mean. This is the grinder for you. Very accuate. Try the pink sea salt . I love this grinder.

It gives fairly freely but 1 turn will not overcast. I use very little salt in cooking and never salt once food has been cooked and plated and I have had no problem.

It sounds like you have your answer already, but it does struggle quite a bit and occasionally stops completely when grinding extremely course salt.

The salt comes out of the top. If you store the salt container bottom side up, salt will leak out onto the counter top.

No! And the salt gets clogged really easy! You have to bang on it pretty good to get it clear. Hope this helps

No, it does not read salt level by itself. It measures TOTAL dissolved solids.

I haven't had one issue with my pool all summer. Have you tried running the boost cycle to address the green? I haven't added any chemicals other than the salt all season & my water is crystal clear! I run the boost about once a week (after heavy rain or heavy usage) My pool is small 14' so I am sure that is a factor if you have a larger pool. I have read about people getting the too much salt issue. Usually emptying a little usually does the trick. But if it continues I would contact the company. It may be an issue with the system (which I have heard too) They do honor their warantee, but are very slow. Good Luck I haven't had one issue with my pool all summer.

I have never noticed this. I use it for vegan soups and stews and add little or no salt.

I have had that happen in mine also...but the only time i see it happen is if i let the salt get down by about a bag and a half or two...if i keep it full it does not leave the blue ring.

I've never tested adjusting the salt grind, but the pepper grinder is def adjustable.

The salt shaker in my opinion isn't very good. There are few holes, and the salt always gets stuck between the removeable top and the shaker itself. I still use the grinder, but not the shaker.

Not to worry! It is not a salt "grinder". It is a salt "shaker". It is advised that you use Sea Salt only.

First, I would ask how you know you have enough salt? Second, I was having that issue so I just purchased a Taylor testing kit to insure that I did. Also, you need to make sure you keep the unit extremely clean so that it can generate the chlorine for your pool. I am new at this and just learning so I am no exoert.

With mine, there's a lot of spillage from the salt, compared to the pepper. On the other hand, a few days ago the grinder ring popped off and dumped a bunch of pepper "dust" everywhere. Fortunately, it popped right back on and doesn't seem to be any worse for it. Honestly though, if I knew back then what I know today about this item, I'd have probably passed by it in favor of a better model. This is a case of "you get what you pay for." I think I'm going back to having separate - wooden - mills.

Please take some time to read the documentation. Fill the footbath with tap water ONLY and get all connected. While running add the salt VERY slowly pausing between sprinkles giving time for the salt to register (This isn't instant coffee). You added too much salt and the only way to bring it back to 2.5 or lower is to add water (dilute) whereas starting over would be more productive. Again read the documentation....

My advice is to add two bags and wait to see what the reading on the pump is. I added three 4olb. bags and it was too high so I had to drain 20% of the water and refill. However this did solve the problem and I have not had to add anymore salt all summer. I love this product!!! Clean pool all the time. All I have had to do is clean to cooper device once by soaking in vinegar! Easy!

Paperwork says "Not recommended for Salt" but also states if you do "remove agitator before salting". I personally use this only for lawn care. May want to go directly to the Earthway site and ask this question. Cheers

If your water is cold you will get a low reading on salt. This has been my experience. From what I know the salt sensor measures conductivity. I believe it is the two nubs behind the flow switch toward the top of the unit. With the flow switch removed you can see them.
