You may need to go to a much lower setting or turn it off for a brief period.

Is the old pump and filtration system necessary when adding a saltwater chlorine generator?
Yes you still need a pump and filter. The saltwater system generates chlorine and eliminates the need for chlorine tabs. You will still need to keep the water balanced and continue normal pool maintenance.
After shocking the pool four times this week your chlorine level still registers zero My Cyanuric Acid levels are 150 ppm How can you bring the chlorine level up?
we used liquid chlorine to raise ours so far it has worked
Is an generator an example of a fuel?
Its 'a' generator ! And no, a generator still needs fuel to run
How do you convert a fresh water hot tub to a salt water hot tub?
Although ordering the spa as a "salt water" hot tub when you buy it is easier, as there is some plumbing work required, you can retrofit either a bromine salt generator or chlorine salt generator and create your own "salt water spa".There is a misnomer about salt water hot tubs in that you still have to create the chemical chlorine or bromine in order to sanitize the water. Only with a salt generator this process happens automatically, but you must establish either a bromine salt reserve or a chlorine salt reserve depending on the system you are using.You will save the trip to the store for chlorine or bromine, but you still need to add the salt when you refill the spa or when you top up the water.To convert, the bromine salt cell is plumbed into the water line and the control unit is mounted to the spa. A hot tub tech can do this for you. Sometimes you may save by already having the salt generator and just having someone hook it up and add it to the plumbing.There is no switching. But you do have to install a chlorine generator. The generator makes the chlorine from the salt you add. But why go through all the hassles and expense?A better bet would be to use Bromine, it was developed for use in hot tubs. Besides at high temps. chlorine will vent off in a gas form and probably run you off.
How do you get chlorine in a salt water pool?
Normally the salt/chlorine generator creates the chlorine as the system is running. This is accomplished by the chlorine unit sending a low voltage charge of electricity into the water as it flows through the inline unit and makes contact with the fins inside. When this occurs a separation takes place of the salt(sodium chloride) and the chlorine is then free to sanitize the water. The sodium is still in the water suspended for awhile and then reconnects with the leftover chlorine to be recycled through the system again and again.
Salt water pool systems vs chlorine which is better?
A salt water pool is a chlorine pool. The difference is that in a normal fresh water pool you have to add the chlorine as it is required. In the case of the salt water pool salt is added to the pool which is int urn run through a chlorine generator that is installed on the pipe leading from the filter to the pool. The chlorine generator electronically separates chlorine gas out of the salt water which then dissolves into the water automatically maintaining chlorine levels. The adidion of salt to the water makes it more pleasant to swim in and you are spared having to handle and store chlorine at home. but the problem is you are still swimming in Chlorine and now you are also swimming in sodium.
Do you still need to add pH calcium alkaline chemicals to a salt water pool as the same as a chlorine pool?
Yes you still need to control the PH of your water weather it is a salt water pool or chlorine tablet pool. with salt water pools the chlorine produced by the chlorine generator is more dependant on a lower pH, around 7.2 to 7.6 if pH goes to high the chlorine gets locked up and cant work. you can find more detailed information on our web site at www.cristal-clear-pools.com. hope this helps you.
What is a salt water swimming pool?
A salt water pool has a chlorine generator on it that turns sodium chloride into chlorine gas. The water in the pool is not like the ocean, you can't taste the salt and it doesn't sting your eyes. The water isn't as harsh on clothing, eyes, skin and hair as chlorine is.
How do i get my clorine level up in my pool?
go to the local market that you get chlorine at and pool shock. buy test strips that test the water's chlorine, and just add an extra chlorine tablet each time you add chlorine. if its still really low and not even close to the amount you may want to add pool shock
Is a chlorine system or a salt water system the best for a lined pool?
A salt system IS a chlorine system. Chlorine is still the sanitizer. The salt system is there so a chlorine generator can make the chlorine from the salt instead of you having to deal with it. There is no such thing as "best", only tradeoffs. A salt system is expensive even if you break it down per year (with initial and replacement costs). However much less maintenance. A salt system IS perfectly safe for a vinyl, or any type, pool.
Why would a new Pool Frog Mineral Purifier attached to a new pump not be putting out chlorine?
