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.
Yes.
Not at all.
Sorry, but swimming in a saltwater pool is a lot different than swimming in the ocean. In the ocean, pollutants like oil, gasoline, and trash combine with fish urine and dead animals. Another big difference in a pool is that there are no waves! In the ocean, rip tides and tidal waves are a big part of the ocean's cycle. In your pool, waves are non-existent.

Yes, you can add a clear saltwater system to a ProSeries 14' X 42" Metal Frame Swimming Pool.
In a typical saltwater swimming pool nothing living other then micro organisms should be able to survive. In a saltwater pool with water, filtration and components designed for marine life, they could.
Obviously the pool floor is not smooth.
No, salt does not damage the plaster. Improper water balance will.
yes running the filter while swimming helps the filtration process. Also if the pool is saltwater then the system will replace chlorine being used while bathing.
A fresh water swimming pool is a swimming pool that does not use a saltwater chlorinator. A pool that used a salt water chlorinator has salt added to it to so that a salt water chlorinator can electronically convert part of the salt into chlorine. A fresh water pool has chlorine added to it directly either manually or Automatically.
yes. you can go swimming in a salt or swimming pool chlorine based. however, you must wet your hair and add sulfate free conditioner to it in order for the treatment to stay
Yes it makes no difference to what the water looks like. this is influenced more by the colour of the pool and the sky then anything else.
