You test a salt water pool the same as an ordinary pool where it comes to testing the chemical balance of the water. Most importantly check for free chlorine regularly. testing for salt can be done less often as the only thing that causes los of salt is backwashing water being splashed out of the pool and overflowing of the pool in the case of rain.
Pool water rarely gets changed as there are few problems that require draining and refilling. Whether the pool contains salt or not is irrelevant. You certainly don't want to spend money on chemicals just to dump them out with the water out later. thepoolandspawarehouse.com
The same things as an ordinary chlorine pool as well as salt and stabilizer..
It depends on how much use the pool gets if it overflows regularly as a result of rain etc. Normally checking the salt levels once a year should cover it.
once every month, because if you think about it youre tities will bounce off into space and kill all of us
never. If you have a problem with the water in your pool, there are many chemicals avalible to help you. go to your local pool store with a water sample and ask for help. they can test your water and tell you exactly what you need to do.
Assuming no other complaints you would only need to change water to lower the total dissolved solids level or cyanuric acid level. TDS should be below 500ppm and cyanuric acid ~50 ppm.
It should not make any difference. the salt concentration in a salt water pool is the same as the salt concentration in your body. I think you should look for answers elsewhere.
I cant see why it should be drained and given a chlorine bath at all. If there is no problem with the water or the looks of the pool leave it alone.
A green pool is often easily fixed by adding "shock" to the water, or cleaning. Any local pool service listed in the local paper or yellow pages should be able to address the situation readily.
Pool motor is overheating and or a short in the motor. You need a professional pool tech to troubleshoot.
two or three days a week
Pink water most often comes from toys or bathing suits that have gone from the ocean to a pool. You should contact a pool supply in your area to see if it's just you or if it's going around. And get the treatment from them. Bryant http://www.BackintheSwim.com/
You should test your pool weekly at the very least and if there has been lots of rain or after a pool party. Liquid testing kits, strip testers, and digital testing kits are the main ways to test your pool water. You should test for total and free chlorine, pH, alkalinity, cyanuric acid, calcium hardness, phosphates, copper, and salt if you have a saltwater pool.
You will find that in some seasons and heavier use your pool will require water more often. You can have a automatic water level maintainance put in but during cooler monthes you'll add none. If the water gets below the intake you can burn up your pump. watch you level.
When the "TDS" and/or calcium hardness are high. In Vegas it's about 3-4 years.
No, water should not be kept in your pool all winter. When it gets cold enough, the water will freeze. When water freezes, it expands. So when the water in your pool freezes and expands your pool will be ruined.
