Yes you can. It is recommended, mostly, to keep your salinity between 3000 - 4000ppm. This way the generator can do it job or producing enough chlorine to keep your pool sanitized.
Adding too much salt can damage your cell and possibly deck and equipment.
Good luck

That depends on the size of your pool and the level of salt your chlorine generator needs to properly function (usually 3200-3400ppm). If you do not have a quality salt test, I recommend bringing a sample of your water to a local pool store to be tested. Bring your chlorine generator's manual with you and they will help you find where it shows how much salt to add. If your pool has been low on chlorine for more than a day or two, or if the water is cloudy or green, you will need to add some liquid chlorine to assist the chlorine generator in clearing it up.
fish ofcourse how didnt you know that!
Yes, just install the chlorine generator and add the salt. Your new system will replace the need for residual chlorine.
You have probably added too much salt. Your system is out of balance.
Depending on how much salt you add to the water and how warm the water is... the salt will disolve
Yes You can and it wont do the pool any harm as a matterof fact it will make it feel more pleasant to swimm in.
No, You have to have a salt/Chlorine generator or you'll just be swimming in a slime salt water body of water.
you add salt and pepper until you thinks it tastes right
don't add as much salt.
Although ordering the spa as a "salt water" hot tub when you buy it is easier, as there is some plumbing work required, you can retrofit either a bromine salt generator or chlorine salt generator and create your own "salt water spa".There is a misnomer about salt water hot tubs in that you still have to create the chemical chlorine or bromine in order to sanitize the water. Only with a salt generator this process happens automatically, but you must establish either a bromine salt reserve or a chlorine salt reserve depending on the system you are using.You will save the trip to the store for chlorine or bromine, but you still need to add the salt when you refill the spa or when you top up the water.To convert, the bromine salt cell is plumbed into the water line and the control unit is mounted to the spa. A hot tub tech can do this for you. Sometimes you may save by already having the salt generator and just having someone hook it up and add it to the plumbing.There is no switching. But you do have to install a chlorine generator. The generator makes the chlorine from the salt you add. But why go through all the hassles and expense?A better bet would be to use Bromine, it was developed for use in hot tubs. Besides at high temps. chlorine will vent off in a gas form and probably run you off.
Yes. The salt is run through a chlorinator that changes the salt to chlorine. It won't do it by itself so you have to buy the generator to do this.
Yes, as the generator creates the sanitizer for the pool, just throwing salt in it won't do anything
