Salt system for your pool do you use table salt for it and where can you buy this in bulk?

The salt that isnormally used in salt water pools is Sodium Chloride. and this is the same as table salt. However rather then going to the grocery shop for it you will find that pool shops and some hardware and department stores Cary bags of the stuff. If you go to a pool shop take a sample of water and the size of the pool with you along with the type of saltwater chlorinator you have and they will be able to let you know how much you need.

Can you use water softener salt for a pool salt system?

There are two types of salt based pool chlorinators. More expensive and less common are those with a separate salt tank and these will normally use tablet salt for water softeners. The more common type is where salt is added to the swimming pool itself. In the UK we most commonly use PDV salt - that is Pure Dried Vacuum Salt or table salt. Granular salt for water softeners can be used. Tablet salt for water softeners should be avoided unless you have a white liner, because the tablets may bleach spots on the pool liner before dissolving. Julian Hobday of KindWater.

Yes as a mater of fact that is what salt water pool normally is. With a salt water pool there is a electronic salt water chlorinator installed that uses the salt in the water to create chlorine. However if you don't have a salt water chlorinator and prefer the feeling of a salt water pool then there is no reason not to add salt to the pool as well as keeping up the chlorine yourself.
