I suggest you drink a spoonful. If you have a saltwater pool it will taste like the ocean. If it tastes like the local swimming baths, it's tapwater loaded with chlorine to kill things that are presumably all over your body, as you're the only one using it. Go to the filter and see if you can see an attachment connected to the pipes that looks like it has plates in it like a battery with wire running to it this will usually be the highest part of the piping. if it has this and the water tastes salty in the pool you have a salt water pool. However it sounds like you need some instruction so I suggest you have a talk with your pool shop about your system, and all will be revealed

Pee. I know it sounds gross, but ringworm is killed by urine.

If the chlorine levels in your saltwater pool are high, you should first stop adding chlorine to the pool.

Regularly test the water to monitor the chlorine levels until they fall within the recommended range.

Yes, you can add salt to a chlorine pool to create a saltwater pool system.

How does the saltwater filter produce chlorine?

A saltwater filter uses a process called electrolysis to convert salt into chlorine gas. When the saltwater passes through the filter cell, an electrical current is applied, causing the salt to break down into its chemical components, including chlorine. This chlorine then disinfects the pool water.
