Do you add salt to a salt water pool by just dumping it in the pool?

Yes you do. Every manufacturer will give you different instructions on how to do it. The most accepted method is to add the salt at the shallow end of your pool, then brush it around while the salt system is off, the pump must stay on however. Always wait a few days to recheck your salt level or run the pump 24 hours to accelerate the process.

When I got it done it involved dumping about 2/3 of the water in my ordinary salt water pool to reduce the amount of sodium chloride, However if you have a fresh water pool then you need not lose any water at all, Throw the required amount of Magnesium and potassium chloride in the pool, set up the new salt chlorinating unit and that's all that there is to it.
