Salinity Progress

Current: 1500 ppm Target: 3200 ppm

Add salt to reach the optimal level.

Chemistry Logic

  • PPM Deficit 0 ppm
  • Water Density Rule 8.33 lbs / gal
  • Salt Status Low
Calculation
lbs =
Gal × 8.33 × PPM Diff 1,000,000

Pro Tip: Always add 75% of the calculated salt first, let it dissolve for 24 hours with the pump running, then retest before adding the rest. You can't easily remove salt if you add too much!
