What should be the salt level be on a salt system pool?
The ideal salt level is between 2700-3400 ppm (parts per million) with 3200 ppm being optimal. Before adding salt to your pool, test the water to check your salt level.
how many pounds of salt do you add to a 12000 gallon swimming pool?
salt is based on PPM or parts per million and a salt system operates around 3000 PPM on most systems. If you have no salt in your pool the amount of salt to add would be around 200 pounds but if you have some salt in the system then you need to find the ppm already in the pool and adjust as needed. Do not forget to add cyneric acid or you will lose what sanitizer is produced on the hot days.
What should the readings be for alkalinity and stabilizer for a salt water swimming pool?
The same as a non-salt system pool. Disregard answer above. The only reading that will remain constant, in the above situation, is the alkalinity =80 - 120 ppm; pH = 7.4 - 7.6 For a salt system pool your conditioner/stabilizer should be slightly higher than a namually fed pool. You should achieve readings of 75 - 85 ppm.
What should ppm be in a salt water pool?
Do you mean to say that you have a fresh water pool with a Chlorine Generator which uses salt? Or do you in fact have a salt water pool? bob...
Do you need to worry about the salt ppm during the winter months in a salt water pool?
Not if the pool is closed and winterized.
How much salt for a 30 foot pool?
the amount of salt required depends on how much water is in the pool You will need enough salt to reach a concentration of 4000 ppm (parts per million) to start. Have the water tested for salt content at your pool shop (usualy free), then add then add enough to reach 4000 ppm.
What to do when a saltwater pool is to low on free chorline?
Check your stabilizer level (or conditioner) it should be 40-60 PPM. Next check your salt level, should be 3000-3600 PPM. If their both in line; make sure your chlorinating cell is clean. If there is algae in your pool you must shock it with regular chlorine. See instructions on label.
What is the recommended hardness range for salt pools?
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
How much salt in a pool 7650 gallons?
I assume you have a salt chlorinator. If you don't there would be no practical reason to add salt to your pool. To determine how much salt to add you must first check the manufacturer of the salt system. A typical level would be around 3000 ppm. The next thing to know would be your gallonage which you have stated to be 1185 gallons. That is a very small pool. A small spa will easily hold 600 gallons, and I have worked on several large spas that would easily hold more than 1185 gallons. Could it be 11850 gallons? Double check your gallonage and contact the manufacturer of the salt system. Not all systems run the same salt levels.
Is saltwater pools sore on your eyes?
True salt water pools have the same parts per million (ppm) as sea water which is roughly 35,000 ppm. We have a salt taste threshold of around 3,500 ppm and our eyes have about 7,000ppm. Most chlorine generators require a salt content of 3,000-5,000 ppm in the pool. You will feel the salt in a true salt water pool, most people don't notice the salt in a pool with a chlorine generator.
How much salt needed for new pool?
The store where you bought the salt system can probably tell you how much. It all depends on how big, and thus how much water is in your pool. If you tell them the size and depth of the pool they should be able to tell you about how much salt you'll need to add.
What is the proper ratio of salt per gallon of water?
Most chlorine generators require a salt content in the water of a pool 2500 to 6000 ppm
