Would you shock a salt water pool or use algaeize or more salt?
Salt generators make the same chemical, sodium hypochlorite, that you buy at the store. The major difference is that it costs a lot more to make than to buy it. See other posts I have made in this arena for more info.A salt water pool IS a chlorine pool. Period! IF it needs shocking you shock it the same way as any chlorine pool, by adding more chlorine either by manually adding it or setting the SWCG to the boost or shock setting.
When do you add clearifier after shocking pool?
Yes you can add shock solution to your swimming pool after or at the same time as a clarifyer. You should not swim in your pool for at 4 hours after shocking it.
Is pool shock the same as chlorine?
There is chlorine shock and non chlorine shock. Fo chlorine shock, which is the normal shock, it is the same a s Chlorine but unstabilized, so it will not last in the pool very long.
Is pool stabilizer and shock the same?
No, pool shock is normally a really strong chlorine and stabilizer is like sunscreen for the chlorine

How do you superchlorinate a saltwater pool?
Most salt boxes will have a button or knob to add more chlorine which is how you may superchlorinate a salt pool. Otherwise there is no problem adding granular chlorine to a salt pool for it is the same sanitizer just added in a different manner.
Will hurt to put bleach in a concrete pool?
Sure but it is not the same strength as pool chlorine. It can also contain metals that can stain you pool surface.
Can you use the chlorine floater when the solar cover is on or when people are in the pool?
No! the floater should never have to be placed under neath the cover. The reason is that the chlorine is not moving around the pool so it will be in one position and eventually eat through the cover. Always keep your cover off when adding chlorine and when chlorine tablets are in a floater.
What is the recommended hardness range for salt pools?
Same as Chlorinated pools: 80-120 ppm. A salt pool is the same as a non- salt pool. Only difference is the chlorine is made in the system thru automation/mechanically. With the addition of swimming pool salt to the water it in turn goes thru the device and returns to the pool as chlorine. Otherwise you add the chlorine manually. k
