im wondering? if the various kinds of salts used, have to do with the color outcome of the after treatment water?

I wish I could return mine.........I wouldn't buy it, because it is not easily put together too work for you. The directions are not simply stated or stated at all. you''ll be guessing how too use it.

Salt is salt. The color is the toxins pulled from your system. Smokers usually have a very dark outcome, where mine is more yellow.

If you use colored salt it will have an effect. If you use plain table salt on several people you will see different colored water depending on the person not on the salt. Just on myself I get different colors depending on what is being detoxified. Try not to use sea salt. To many minerals.

I have only ever used sea salt for this so cannot speak to the differences that may come from different salts but I can say that the colors vary for me using the same salt and same water every time. I recently did an Ayurvedic cleanse and my water looked different than it ever had before with detoxing from the liver and lymphatic system. If you are concerned about this you might try to find salt with minimal potential contaminants.

If 1ppm solute of unknown identity went in and 59 more came out, I'd bet it's the carbon from the carbon filter. Nothing to worry about. Your water is still absolutely drinkable and mostly pure.

I honestly don't know. I'd probably contact the manufacturer who, I'm certain, would be able to address this question. I wouldn't want to void any warranties by coloring the water and would want to make certain that the company says it's fine.

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 think this happens to a lot of people while troubleshooting a bad cell. Unfortunately, dilution is the only way ... I know of no chemical method to decrease the salt ppm. You don't have to drain the entire pool though, just enough to dilute the water down to the target level. You probably could crunch some numbers for percentage of gallons/ppm or something to get an idea, but I would suggest just draining a good bit, say 10%, re-filling, and then circulate for 12 to 24 hrs before taking another reading. The joys of owning your own pool ... good luck.

There is not. The color is the result of the two ingredients mixing in water. Whenever these two mix you have the color.

If you are referring to the calibration solution, I just used ro/di water and made sure it wasn't registering any salinity.

Sounds like calcium build up. Do you have hard water in your area? I have used vinegar for that problem but not for anything that is silver (turns it black).

I hope so . I'm converting my pool to salt water this year.................i'm thinking if you rinsed it with clear water it will be fine. let me know how u make out.. norm2428@comcast.net

You can add Real Salt into the water as well. Contact them for "recipe." The water doesn't taste salty and it's the cheapest method to regain mineral content.

I'm wondering if it has to do with the type of water that is used. If it is distilled, tap water, from a water softener, etc. I seemed to notice a difference in the length of time when I moved.

Sorry very hard typing on my phone. But hopefully you understand. I love my salt water setup. I don't mess with any real chemicals.

I have no idea, but this particular brand is not the best quality. It dissolves VERY quickly and the water becomes super-salinated. Not the result we were looking for at all. We had to purchase another brand of salt.

I am not certain re: the bleach. If you do I would recommend a good flushing out of unit with fresh water after the application of mild bleach.DJ

It seems like some kind of salt. But I am not 100% certain. Sorry I could not be more helpful.

Hello: When you say corrosion, what do you mean? Corrosion is usually rust and flaking away due to the rust. Therefore, corrosion is different from coloration. Are you having coloration or corrosion? Depending on what type of water you are putting into the device, there may be different impurities and minerals in it. As the water evaporates, the minerals are left behind and may cause coloration because of the minerals. Because water evaporates from the top, the top of the container will be the hottest because water sits in the bottom. The hottest heat at the top of the container may "bake" the impurities onto the sides of the container causing coloration and not corrosion. I noticed some coloration which went away. I use purified water in my device to make it purer and to restructure the water and erase any residual signatures via the evaporation. Hope this helps. Keep using it and you may notice it go away. Also, make sure you are filling it to below the water line and not above it.

I don't know. I have never had the opportunity to change the salts. I just add too. Sorry!
