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.

How much salt to use in a 4500 gal pool?
Assuming you have a chlorine generator and actually need to add salt, the amount is determined by the manufacturer of the device you purchased. Looking in the instruction manual will tell you what the required sodium level is for your particular unit (somewhere around 3,000 ppm is typical). Then you must test the water to see what the sodium level is currently. The difference is what needs to be made up. It takes roughly 25lbs of salt per 1,000 gallons of water to go from zero to 3,000 ppm. So you need about 112 lbs if your 4,500 gallon pool is at zero ppm now. Pool & Spa
