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.

Yes, you can use a combination of salt and chlorine in your pool. Keep in mind that it is still good to shock your pool once per week, or after a rain. Shock is nothing but a high dose of chlorine....

No you cannot. Super-chlorinating a pool also known as "shocking" is the process of burning out the water, which destroys any and all organic material and waste from bathers. Super chlorination also destroys ammonia and nitrogen compounds and breaks down the free chlorine levels. Swimming while oxidizer levels are high can cause serious health problems, ranging from eye and mouth irritation to in extreme cases skin burns. It is best to wait a good 12 hours before swimming in a pool that has been burned out to prevent injury, in addition make sure that the circulation pump is in operation for at least 4 hours after shocking to circulate the chemical. If you notice any undissolved shock on the plaster of your pool be sure to brush it off as it will bleach the plaster. Pool shock is one of those chemicals you don't want to mess around with!

Yes but it would probably be a bit rough on the eyes until it settled down a bit.

Most chlorine generators have a setting, or you could shock with chlorine or non chlorine shock.

Since a saltwater pool is actually a chlorinated water system, you want to use a chlorine based oxidizer. Follow the instructions on the package for dosage, and precautions.
