Corrosion can present a problem below 7.0. As the pH falls below 7.2, chlorine become increasingly more aggressive and irritating. Depending upon the type of pool vinyl lined or masonry - corrosive low pH conditions can cause surface etching, liner wrinkling and equipment damage. A pH of 7.2-7.6, helps assure bather comfort, allows effective sanitizing and helps avoid corrosion.

In a pool heater, "lo" typically indicates a low water temperature setting or a low water flow condition. This can mean that the heater is not receiving adequate water flow, which could be due to a pump issue or a blockage in the system. It's important to check the water levels and ensure that the pump is functioning properly to resolve this issue. If the problem persists, consulting the heater's manual or a professional may be necessary.

You don't need to add anything. The corrosive effects of chlorine are worse then that of salt anyway. so all you are doing is adding a very low concentration of salt to to the chlorine that would have been there anyway.

What causes your swimming pool slats to turn green?

Do you mean the elements inside the filter tank? Your problem is most likely found in the way in which you treat the pool water. My guess is that you are constantly in an acedic condition meaning that you are adding way too much pool acid to the pool. Your pH and Total Alkalinity are way out of specs. You should probably consult a pool service to correct the situation and advise you as to proper chemical maintenance. Under these conditions your heater will be short lived and you can expect to have to replace the heater in the not distant future. With a low pH you can expect a short life from your pool and it's equipment.
