If you use salt for your pool do you have to have a salt water pump?
You do need to add something to your already existing filter system that changes salt into chlorines so that it sanitizes your pool. The name of that device is a salt water generator. It consists of a cell plumbed in after your filter and an electrical control system that monitors the cells performance.
Does a pump on the salt water swimming pool need to stay on the whole time?
Well, if the pump isn't on then the system isn't producing chlorine. Same goes for older systems like a chlorinator that added chlorine to the pool. Probably not a big deal as long as the salt system is wired to shut off while the pump is off. You could also look into an energy efficient pump that you can run 24hrs and still save money on electricity!
Apart from Salt and a Pump what else do you need to run a salt pool?
You need a salt water chlorinator. A salt water chlorinator is an electronic devise that converts the salt in the water from the pool into chlorine gas that is then absorbed into the water.

Can you use pool salt in your pool with out the salt water system?
Sure, you CAN, but why would you want to? The purpose of the salt in a saltwater system equipped pool is to provide the chlorine the saltwater system generates. It would be the same as having a saltwater system pool that the saltwater system went bad and you just installed an inline chlorinator in the plumbing instead of replacing the saltwater chlorine generator system so you could add chlorine with the tablets.

Do you need a special pump for a salt water pool?
There will no issues with the water pump. Most pools don't really use salt water they put salt in the water and have a chlorinator that zaps the salt turning it into Chlorine. Salt is a bit hard on gas heaters though. I like to use heat pumps made out of titanium when I have salt systems in the water.
Can you make aquarium salt from regular salt?
