Can you convert clorine pool to salt?

Answer 1

== == Yes, Any pool can be converted to a salt water pool All that is needed to do this is the installation of chlorine generator this is put inline in an appropriate spot on the pools existing filtration system and the installation of the electronic control system. and of course the saltIt must be remembered however that a salt water pool uses the salt in the water to create its own chlorine. The salt used for this is usually sodium chloride but now a system is becoming available tat uses a far healthier and Eco friendly mix of Magnesium chloride and potassium chloride,

Answer 2

Yes,but only if your pool is resin[that is constructed from 100% polymer or plastic]. It is not advisable to use salt in a "steel pool".

Salt in a steel pool is a lousy salesman answer. All Chlorine is made from Salt and the amount needed in your pool is insignificant to what kind of pool you have. Any pool can be salt

Answer 3

Yes as a mater of fact a salt pool is a chlorine pool. to convert your freshwater pool to asaltwater pool You will need to install a salt water chlorinator. A saltwater chlorinator electronically treats the salt in the water and converts it into chlorine thereby automatically keeping the chlorine up to your pool. the addition of salt to the pools water also makes it feel more pleasant to swum in. There are two ways that you can go with this, the best known method is with the use of Potassium chloride common salt) or with a new system that uses magnesium and potassium chloride second system is better healthier and has a therapeutic effect in the swimmer.

Answer 4

There are three main components necessary for the switch from chlorine to salt:

1) Salt Cell (goes inline with the water return from the filter):

This component electrically charges the salt in the water passing through it, and releases the chlorine into the water, while removing the calcium.

2) Salt Cell Control Panel (mounts near the pump controls):

This component controls and monitors the salt level and chlorine output, among other things.

3) Pool-grade Salt

Your local pool supply store can tell you how much you need for your particular pool and supply it to you.

Answer 5

First thing you need to understand is that a salt water pool is in fact a chlorine pool. The salt in the water (NaCl or sodium chloride) is essentially ripped apart by the electrical current in the pass thru on the pump assembly. A salt water system can sense how much chlorine is needed and strip apart sodium from the chloride (making chlorine) in smaller or larger amounts as necessary. The total salinity of a salt water pool is only about one tenth the salinity of the ocean and since you probably don't have plankton or other organic matter living in your pool, it won't feel sticky or tacky the way the ocean does when you get out. Most people actually report that the water feels silky smooth and is similar to how your skin feels if you've ever lived in a home with a water softener.

To get back to your question - the only reason I can see why someone would want to spend the money and put chlorine in their pool manually would be if the salt water system mounted on your pump broke or somehow wore out and it was going to cost too much to replace it. As a temporary measure, yes, you could simply add chlorine to the pool for the duration of the season or whatever, but draining the pool and refilling would be a waste. Remember, all a salt water system really does is provide free chlorine all year long. If you'd rather shut it down and pay for the chlorine and monitor it yourself, that is always your prerogative.

Answer 6

To change a chlorine pool into a saltwater pill, it is important to drain it. From there, you want to wash the pool to get the chlorine residue off. Then, you want to buy new equipment. Add water, then add the salt, but not until the pH is balanced.

Answer 7

You would need a chlorine generator such as Auto Pilot. Many companies make them. After you install the chlorine generator, you add your salt to the pool.

Answer 8

Since a saltwater pool IS a chlorinated pool (the only difference is how the chlorine is addded since it is manufactured by the SWCG and not added separately) the answer is yes.
