Should I oversize my salt system?
The bigger your salt system, the longer it will last you because it works proportionately less hard to do the job. You can more easily keep your pool within the ideal 1.0 – 3.0 ppm chlorine level range and the system doesn’t have to use all of its resources just to keep up.
