Why brand presets help
Different chlorine generator families can tolerate different practical salinity targets. A preset keeps the estimate aligned with the equipment family before you fine-tune the exact model value.

Intex target
Intex saltwater system documentation lists 3000 ppm as the optimal salt level. Above-ground pools can shift quickly after rain, splash-out, or refill water, so retest before adding the full amount.
