Thank you for your feedback, yes I agree there is added complexity in the system. The risk of adding saturated salt water to the sump directly is mitigated by not having a direct line to the SW mixing tank. Additionally a conductivity probe added to the SW mixing tank can be used to ensure the proper mixing has occoured. Also if I had the budget I could add another conductivity probe to the sump, although this isn't really necessary.
