Is pool salt the only thing you have to put in a salt water pool?

no you have inject your penis in it ^ Sorry for that -.- Well yes, thats basically it. You might need to add chemicals to the pool to keep its ph level normal. There are PH kits you can buy at pool shops for as little as 10$ and they work perfectly. As for the chemical you put in... I cant remember what it is but if you google it you might find it.


Do you still need to add pH calcium alkaline chemicals to a salt water pool as the same as a chlorine pool?

Yes you still need to control the PH of your water weather it is a salt water pool or chlorine tablet pool. with salt water pools the chlorine produced by the chlorine generator is more dependant on a lower pH, around 7.2 to 7.6 if pH goes to high the chlorine gets locked up and cant work. you can find more detailed information on our web site at www.cristal-clear-pools.com. hope this helps you.

It is not the salt water pool or the salt water that is turning your hair green. It is a poorly maintained pool with a chemical imbalance - pH and total alkalinity out of required parameters.

Use muriatic acid. Amount depends on the size of the pool. Start with 1/4 gallon, then retest next day. Repeat in 1/4 gallon increments until pH reading is 7.4-7.5.

Yes, it is definitely a possibility. Salt will have no connection to the itching problem.


High pH in salt water pool?

It means you probably have a cloudy pool. First, adjust your pH level down by using muriatic acid. Follow the instructions on the bottle. Check your pH after two hours. If it is between 7.4 and 7.6, then you can add other chemicals. Also, pH will fluctuate somewhat if your TA (total alkalinity) is not correct. Raise your TA will baking soda (any brand will do). Lowering TA is a whole 'nuther story though, so be careful not to overdo it on the first attempt. Fix TA first, then address pH. Once your TA is right (about 100-125 ppm for a vinyl pool) you may find that pH has corrected itself. If not, borax brings it up, and muriatic acid brings it down.
