Do you mean to say that you have a fresh water pool with a Chlorine Generator which uses salt? Or do you in fact have a salt water pool?

Do you need to worry about the salt ppm during the winter months in a salt water pool?
Not if the pool is closed and winterized.
What should be the salt level be on a salt system pool?
The ideal salt level is between 2700-3400 ppm (parts per million) with 3200 ppm being optimal. Before adding salt to your pool, test the water to check your salt level.
What should the readings be for alkalinity and stabilizer for a salt water swimming pool?
The same as a non-salt system pool. Disregard answer above. The only reading that will remain constant, in the above situation, is the alkalinity =80 - 120 ppm; pH = 7.4 - 7.6 For a salt system pool your conditioner/stabilizer should be slightly higher than a namually fed pool. You should achieve readings of 75 - 85 ppm.
How much salt for a 30 foot pool?
the amount of salt required depends on how much water is in the pool You will need enough salt to reach a concentration of 4000 ppm (parts per million) to start. Have the water tested for salt content at your pool shop (usualy free), then add then add enough to reach 4000 ppm.
Is saltwater pools sore on your eyes?
True salt water pools have the same parts per million (ppm) as sea water which is roughly 35,000 ppm. We have a salt taste threshold of around 3,500 ppm and our eyes have about 7,000ppm. Most chlorine generators require a salt content of 3,000-5,000 ppm in the pool. You will feel the salt in a true salt water pool, most people don't notice the salt in a pool with a chlorine generator.
What is the proper ratio of salt per gallon of water?
Most chlorine generators require a salt content in the water of a pool 2500 to 6000 ppm
How do you find out if your soil is contaminated by a saltwater pool?
The best way would be to put a shovel full of dirt in a bucket of clean water ant have the water tested for salt content, However the concentration of salt in a salt water pool is very low and would be unlikely to cause any problems to the surounding soil .Most chlorine generators require a salt content of between 2,500 to 6,000 parts permilion of salt to water. human tears contain about 9000 ppm. once you have more then 1000 ppm of dissolved salts in water it is saline; ocean water contains about 35,000 ppm of salt.
Why does the Pool shop advises that l have too much salt in the pool and may have to empty it and start again what do you suggest?
Salt water pools should be maintained between 3000 and 4000 ppm. More salt than this will cause excessive scaling around the tiles and salt cell. Less salt will not produce enough chlorine gas to sanitize the pool.
What if your pool is reading 2700 and you want to raise it to 3700 how much salt should be added?
You need to know how what size your pool is. But to raise your salt level 1000 ppm, add approximately 80 lbs of salt for every 10,000 gallons of water. Adjust tequila and lime to taste.
How do you convert your in ground pool from chlorinated to saltwater?
Make sure your water is balanced and add salt (sodium chloride). You need to purchase a saltwater chlorine generator and you'll need to calculate the amount of salt you need. You would need to bring your pool salt content up to 3,000 ppm. Concentration is the amount (by weight) of salt in water and can be expressed in parts per million (ppm). Here are the classes of water: * Fresh water - less than 1,000 ppm * Slightly saline water - From 1,000 ppm to 3,000 ppm * Moderately saline water - From 3,000 ppm to 10,000 ppm * Highly saline water - From 10,000 ppm to 35,000 ppm Ocean water has a salinity that is approximately 35,000 ppm. http://www.windows.ucar.edu/tour/link=/earth/Water/dissolved_salts.html&edu=high There is now a system with a healthier salt available Magnesium and Potassium Chloride. it is more expensive but in my opinion it is also much better and halthier than Sodium chloride. The aticle I am using is from poolrite http://www.magnapool.com/about_magnapool.php
how many pounds of salt do you add to a 12000 gallon swimming pool?
salt is based on PPM or parts per million and a salt system operates around 3000 PPM on most systems. If you have no salt in your pool the amount of salt to add would be around 200 pounds but if you have some salt in the system then you need to find the ppm already in the pool and adjust as needed. Do not forget to add cyneric acid or you will lose what sanitizer is produced on the hot days.
How much salt needed for new pool?
The store where you bought the salt system can probably tell you how much. It all depends on how big, and thus how much water is in your pool. If you tell them the size and depth of the pool they should be able to tell you about how much salt you'll need to add.
