Is water softener the same as salt?
There are many reasons for a water softener not to us salt. For example: - The water softener is bypassed (so no water going through it) or switched off. - The water softener is not metering water consumption properly. - The valve is jammed or broken. - There is an air leak in the brine draw mechanism. Which one is most likely will depend on which make and model of water softener you have. If you have an engineering mindset and have a good fault-finding guide, you can try working through these. Otherwise it is time to call in a good water softener engineer. Julian Hobday of KindWater

Is dishwasher salt the same as swimming pool salt?
NO ------- Dishwasher salt is, however, the same as softener salt as used in water softeners for houses. You could use granular or tablet form. It's approximately one third to one quarter of the price per pound /kilo. You may be causing more harm to the pool & equipment by using other type salt. The savings from the wrong salt could result in replacing major components of the pool system. Not a good idea. Use what is recommended - there is a reason for those recommendations.

What if you used water softener in your salt water pool?
Filling a plaster pool with water from a salt type softener will severely damage the plaster. Salt water softeners exchange salt for calcium and leave the water in a calcium deficiency. Seeking its dynamic balance the water will leech calcium from the plaster to satisfy its need for calcium making the plaster etched and rough. Adding salt to regular tap water is not the same as filling with soft water as the calcium is still present in the tap water. 180 ppm of calcium is considered the minimum and low calcium can be raised by adding calcium chloride.
Where can one buy a salt free water softener?

How much salt per gal of water for swimming pool?
If you have purchased Saline System equipment, you add regular 'salt' to the pool water. The salt (sodium chloride) is pure evaporated ocean salt - the same as you would use at the dinner table. Use 'rock' salt, but make sure it is sodium chloride and not potassium chloride (which is sold for some types of water softeners). Minimum salinty varies with the brand of saline system equipment, but is usually in the 3000-4000ppm range. 3000ppm is the same as 0.3%, by weight. Multply gallons x 8.33 to get weight of water in pounds, then x 0.003 to get pounds of salt.
