Best Answer

A salt water swimming pool is a pool that has had salt added to it in order to be able to use the salt in water that is circulated through the filtration system and run it through a chlorinator. This is a set of elements that electronically create chlorine gas that is almost instantly dissolved into the water to sanitise it. The concentration of salt in the water is about 1/8 that of sea water or about the same as that in tears.

you can use flocculants in any type of pool system(the alum will not react in the salt cell), but it's rarely a necessity to get your water clear. it's mainly a marketing ploy.

stick with shock, lots of chlorine tabs, and daily backwashing until it's clear.
