It would probably be the smart thing to do because if you combine salt and chlorine, your pH level will be extremely low (very acidic)
I have to correct the above answer:::: That answ. may be partially right in that changing the water would not hurt especially if it has been more than 5 years since the water has been changed. The latter part of the answ. is what I question. "Salt water pools" have salt added in order to make chlorine. Adding chlor. by hand at a rate of a gallon at a time has a very minute effect on the pH of the pool. If anything it may raise it but seldom lower it. Adding chlor. via the salt system should also have minimal effects since it is added continually and at steady levels. The make up of the water - either acidic or alkaline can effect the chemistry. Plaster pools have a high demand for acid since there is lime in the plaster mix. HTH will have an effect on raising your pH since it is a calcium based product. Tab chlorine on the other hand can lower your pH levels because the pH of a tab is near 2.5 or3.0 --quite on the acid side.

No, you only need to put in the salt and fit the salt water chlorinator. Salt water pools are chlorine pools they make it electronically by converting the chloride into chlorine in the pool
No, a saltwater pool is already a chlorine pool. ALL CHLORINE EVENTUALLY BECOMES SALT. Every pool that has ever had chlorine in it has salt in it. thepoolandspawarehouse.com
No not alll. I had a chlorine system first. We transitioned to a salt system with no problems.
Yes, just install the chlorine generator and add the salt. Your new system will replace the need for residual chlorine.
If you have a salt water pool then the chlorine generator is there to convert the salt into chlorine to keep up the chlorine content of the pool. However if you don't have one of these or it is broken down you can always add chlorine directly to make up the shortfall until the necessary repairs are done.
You need to know the density of the chlorine which is affected by the temperature and pressure at which the chlorine is. Once you know the density, you can convert it using: density = mass/volume → volume = mass/density. You'll need to know the density in pounds per gallon.
You need to buy a chlorine-free bottle, to get rid of the chlorine from the water. Since no fish can live inside chlorine. And chlorine is mixed with tap water.
The jobs that will need to know about chlorine are jobs that deal with the water flow.
You would need to install a water filtration system that also removes Chlorine from the water. Well water normally does not have chlorine it it so the source of the contamination would need to be determined and removed, or a new well drilled.
If you want the water to stay clean and disease-free, than yes.you dont NEED to use chlorine tablets. you can use the other kinds of chlorine there are.
No, metal-free does not have the ability to remove chlorine from water. Metal-free is typically a product used to sequester or bind metal ions in the water to prevent staining or other issues. To remove chlorine from water, you would need to use a chlorine neutralizer or a water filtration system that is designed to remove chlorine.
It,s easy. Just Shock your pool with a chlorine shock and then make sure the chlorine level is where you need it to be. It, more involved if you go from Chlorine to Bacqucil. but why would you want to Bacqucil is so much nicer and easier.
You need to replace the "O" ring inside the lid of the feeder.
Chlorine is not nutrient we need in our body, like other vitamins. Chlorine is needed to keep diseases out of water.
you'll need a water test kit or dip stick test.
