No because a salt water pool makes its own chlorine. however if you find that the chlorinator cant keep up with the demand you may need to ad stabilizer (cyanuric acid) to stop chlorine loss.

You added chlorine stablizer into the pool and now it is showing no chlorine?
Have you actually added liquid chlorine to the pool?
Will switching from chlorine chemical system to a salt water system ruin pool?
No A salt water pool is in fact also chlorine pool, the difference being that with a salt water pool a salt water chlorinator converts the salt that is in the water into chlorine gas which is then dissolved into the water while the filter is running. the conversion wont have any adverse effects on the pool.
What is a chlorine generator?
Many people are choosing to remodel their swimming pool systems to add saltwater chlorination. With a saltwater pool system, a chlorine generator is added to the pool's filtration system. The water circulates through the chlorinator, where salt produces a chlorine gas that dissolves into the water. That chlorine in turn, breaks down and turns into salt, cycling the process all over again.
What element is added to drinking and pool water?
chlorine
You currently have an above ground pool using a Baquacil not chlorine based system Can you convert this system to salt without problems?
You first have to convert the pool to a chlorine system As a salt water system is a chlorine system.
What is the element that is used in swimming pool?
Chlorine is added to swimming pool water to disinfect it.
Can you add a salt water system to an already chlorinated pool?
Yes, just install the chlorine generator and add the salt. Your new system will replace the need for residual chlorine.
Is the old pump and filtration system necessary when adding a saltwater chlorine generator?
Yes you still need a pump and filter. The saltwater system generates chlorine and eliminates the need for chlorine tabs. You will still need to keep the water balanced and continue normal pool maintenance.
Salt water pool systems vs chlorine which is better?
A salt water pool is a chlorine pool. The difference is that in a normal fresh water pool you have to add the chlorine as it is required. In the case of the salt water pool salt is added to the pool which is int urn run through a chlorine generator that is installed on the pipe leading from the filter to the pool. The chlorine generator electronically separates chlorine gas out of the salt water which then dissolves into the water automatically maintaining chlorine levels. The adidion of salt to the water makes it more pleasant to swim in and you are spared having to handle and store chlorine at home. but the problem is you are still swimming in Chlorine and now you are also swimming in sodium.
Clorine was added but pool water is still sky blue?
Chlorine*
What will prevent the pool from illness?
Chlorine/Bromine chemicals added to the water.
What kind of pool is cheapest out of salt water and chlorine?
I have found my salt pool much cheaper than chlorine. If you also factor in the labor with a chlorine pool then you really see a difference.Combine the salt generator with an automatic pool cleaner and the pool is almost maintenence free. Last year I only added a little stabalizer to the pool. that's it. the water tests are always perfect. I live in south Florida. A: both in the above are essentially the same thing. With one you add the chlorine manually. With the other it is manufactured on site in the pool thru the salt system. That same system is how they make liquid chlorine. Please get into your minds that they are not totally two different animals. If you were talking about Baquacil and Chlorine then you do have a difference. Period.
