What else can I help you with?
Do you have to buy a salt chlorine generator to have a salt water pool?
Yes. The salt is run through a chlorinator that changes the salt to chlorine. It won't do it by itself so you have to buy the generator to do this.
Can you switch from chlorine to a saltwater system just by installing a chlorine generator and adding salt?
Yes, you can switch from chlorine to a saltwater system by installing a chlorine generator, also known as a saltwater chlorinator, and adding salt to your pool. The chlorine generator will convert the salt into chlorine to sanitize the water, eliminating the need for manual chlorine additions. Make sure to follow the manufacturer's instructions for proper installation and salt levels.
You cannot get the salt level to come up in your swimming pool and the chlorine generator will not produce chlorine?
It sounds like the chlorine generator is broken
Why do you need a chlorine generator?
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.
How does a saltwater pool stay clean?
Salt is used in conjunction with a chlorine generator in pools to create sanatizer. The salt (sodium chloride) is changed temporarilly to chlorine by the electrical charge in the "generator" it then acts as a sanatizer.
Will the salt in a salt water pool with a chlorine generator cause metal pipes to erode and eventually leak?
NO
Why when I converted my pool from chlorine to salt my endless pools fastlane rusted within 2 weeks?
I know!! Same thing happened to us, except we already had a chlorine generator for the pool.
What is a salt water generator?
A salt water generator, also known as a salt chlorinator, is a device that converts salt into chlorine to sanitize and disinfect pool or spa water. It works by passing an electrical current through salt water, which then produces chlorine gas that dissolves into the water. This eliminates the need for traditional chlorine chemicals to be added to the water on a regular basis.
We have no free chlorine in the pool how much salt do you need to add?
That depends on the size of your pool and the level of salt your chlorine generator needs to properly function (usually 3200-3400ppm). If you do not have a quality salt test, I recommend bringing a sample of your water to a local pool store to be tested. Bring your chlorine generator's manual with you and they will help you find where it shows how much salt to add. If your pool has been low on chlorine for more than a day or two, or if the water is cloudy or green, you will need to add some liquid chlorine to assist the chlorine generator in clearing it up.
Would there ever be a need to add chlorine tablets to a salt water pool?
If the chlorine generator inst run sufficient time or there is a period where an exesive amount of bio material enters the water a litle additional chlorine may at times be an advantage rather then run the filtration equipment longer.
How do you turn salt into chlorine?
Salt can be turned into chlorine through a process called electrolysis. In a saltwater pool, a salt chlorine generator uses electricity to break down salt molecules into sodium and chloride. The chloride then combines with water to produce chlorine, which sanitizes the pool water.
Why does a salt water pool smell like chlorine?
A salt water pool does not actually smell like chlorine. The smell comes from chloramines, which are compounds produced when chlorine combines with contaminants in the water. Salt water pools use a chlorine generator to create chlorine from salt, but should have lower levels of chloramines compared to traditional chlorine pools.
