The best way would be to put a shovel full of dirt in a bucket of clean water ant have the water tested for salt content, However the concentration of salt in a salt water pool is very low and would be unlikely to cause any problems to the surounding soil .Most chlorine generators require a salt content of between 2,500 to 6,000 parts permilion of salt to water. human tears contain about 9000 ppm.
once you have more then 1000 ppm of dissolved salts in water it is saline; ocean water contains about 35,000 ppm of salt.
