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.

Is it necessary to wash tile with a specific product in an new salt pool?

When do you add salt to new diamond brite plaster pool?
Follow the plasterer's or builder's explicit instructions. k
What starting pool chemicals are needed to treat 14645 gallons of water?
It really depends on the initial balance of the fill water and the surface of the pool and the type of sanitizer system being used. Depending on the fill water you might have to initially adjust pH, Total Alkalinity and (for plaster and fiberglass pools) add calcium if it is low--calcium is a non issue for vinyl pools). If there are metals in the water (from well water or local conditions) then a metal sequestrant will be needed initially and as a regular maintenance chemical. Also, many new plaster startups require the use of a metal sequestrant for the first year to maintain the warranty and some startup procedures for plaster might require larger amounts of some pool chemicals for the first weeks to months (such as acid startup for exposed aggregate pools and bicarbonate startup for plaster pools.) If chlorine or a salt water system is being used then CYA (stabilizer ) will be needed, as will a chlorine source. (Salt pools need to have their chlorine level brought up to the proper level before the salt system is turned on by the addition of a chlorine source such as liquid chlorine or bleach.) If it is a salt pool then salt will be needed once the plaster has started curing (Salt can be added immediately in fiberglass and vinyl pools). If the pool is a bromine pool or a biguanide/peroxide pool then the appropriate sanitizers/oxidizers will be needed. Your first step would be to test the fill water and adjust pH, TA, and CH if needed, add any other needed chemicals (such as metal sequestrants) then add the appropriate amount of CYA if it is a chlorine pool (and the appropriate amount of salt if it is a salt pool and the plaster has cured for a month or immediately for vinyl and fiberglass) , and then add the appropriate sanitizer/oxidizer (chlorine, bromine, or biguanide/peroxide). If the builder has specific instructions for pool startup and plaster curing then be sure to follow them! The chemical requirements for a plaster pool are going to be different for the first year as the plaster cures. Typically, the amount of acid needed is much higher as the plaster is curing.
Can you convert clorine pool to salt?
== == Yes, Any pool can be converted to a salt water pool All that is needed to do this is the installation of chlorine generator this is put inline in an appropriate spot on the pools existing filtration system and the installation of the electronic control system. and of course the saltIt must be remembered however that a salt water pool uses the salt in the water to create its own chlorine. The salt used for this is usually sodium chloride but now a system is becoming available tat uses a far healthier and Eco friendly mix of Magnesium chloride and potassium chloride,== == == ==
How do you convert a chlorine pool to a salt water pool?
Converting to a salt water pool requires the installation of a chlorine generator, and the salt for the pool water. Salt water pool are in fact chlorine pools the difference lays in the fact that chlorine is produced by running salt water through electrodes that in turn releases chlorine from the salt which is usually Sodium chloride (common salt) It may pay to also look at A new more environmentally friendly and healthier alternative By looking at Magnesium and potassium chloride salts.
How do you turn a pool to salt water?
Clean the leaves and rubbish from the bottom, clean the filtration system, clean out the leaf baskets, clean out any build up of in the chlorine generator, Make sure there is sufficient water in the pool to cover the static skimmer. Check that the pump works.All pools are different after standing for a period of time so at this point I would take asample of pool water in a clean bottle from about an arms length down from the surface and take it to a pool shop where it can be tested and advice given depending on the results. make sure you mention that it is a saltwater pool.
What length of time is necessary to add water to a new tiled salt water pool?
That depends on the size of the pool and how fast the water is running that is filling it.
Will installing a saltwater system on a new pool immediately after filling with water but before the interior has cured stain the pool?
I have a salt water system and recently had my pool resurfaced. There was no staining. If you put your salt in the skimmer like you we're supposed to there should be no staining, If you put your salt directly into your pool it could stain from the minerals in the salt. If you used table salt there will be much less staining than if you used road salt. ANSWER:: You should NEVER use road salt or table salt. Wrong chemical make up! Follow directions on the "pool salt" bag. The salt goes into the pool and not the skimmer!! You must brush any salt that lingers on the floor until it is mostly dissolved. DO NOT add salt until the water has filtered for at least 24 to 36 hrs. or that recommended by the manufacturer or pool builder. Do not rely on other people to tell you what needs to be done. GO to the source -- builder - manufacturer. You should not have staining if the above basics are followed. Additionally, you must run the standard pool equipment for about 2 weeks or more. This gives the plaster time to cure properly. The salt system can and most likely be installed by the builder as he installs the pump and filter. The salt system unit will not be turned on until the plaster has cured. After the cure you must follow procedures on the proper start-up of the salt system. K
Can you convert a chlorine pool to a sea salt pool?
Yes you can convert to a salt system. As you know a chemical component of salt is chlorine so it works just as well, however, unless you change the metals used on your stairs and other fixtures in and around your pool the salt water will be corrosive and you will see the effects in about 3 or 4 years of use. New pools being built with salt systems use metals that salt water will not corrode, such as brass.
When you drain a pool and refill it with new water what chemicals are needed to add?
Are you talking about a pool? Or a Hot Tub? For a pool you need Chlorine, algae remover, and a pool disinfectant. I use a disinfectant called Kikz Pool cleanser and disinfectant.
Can you backwash onto new sod?
It should not do any harm as long as you don't have a saltwater pool and if it is a salt-water pool that you are using a non-toxic salt like magnesium and potassium chloride rather then the usual Sodium chloride.
