No. Salt is a white crystalline solid. Chlorine is a greenish gas.
They are not similar !!
A "salt" pool is still mostly just chlorine. And yes the pumps are the same for both.
no!
yes, because chlorine(chlorides) is a salt (or has the same negative properties of salt) and salts react negatively with (erodes)cements.
It should not make any difference. the salt concentration in a salt water pool is the same as the salt concentration in your body. I think you should look for answers elsewhere.
Chlorine
Same as Chlorinated pools: 80-120 ppm. A salt pool is the same as a non- salt pool. Only difference is the chlorine is made in the system thru automation/mechanically. With the addition of swimming pool salt to the water it in turn goes thru the device and returns to the pool as chlorine. Otherwise you add the chlorine manually. k
A salt system makes chlorine, that's what its there for.
Ordinary salt is a compound formed from sodium and chlorine.
chlorine
NO!!! However, if you have a gas jar of chlorine, and place a pellet of sodium in it, they will react to form sodium chloride (salt)
Converting to a salt water pool requires the installation of a chlorine generator, and the salt for the pool water. Salt water pool are in fact chlorine pools the difference lays in the fact that chlorine is produced by running salt water through electrodes that in turn releases chlorine from the salt which is usually Sodium chloride (common salt) It may pay to also look at A new more environmentally friendly and healthier alternative By looking at Magnesium and potassium chloride salts.
No, chlorine is an element, consisting only of chlorine atoms. Common table salt contains chlorine in the form of the chloride ion (Cl-)
