Salt chlorinators in my opinion are great. So long as the unit chosen to do the job is the right size for the pool you cant go past them there is no more handling corrosive chlorine as it is manufactured on the spot. they feel good to swim in. Now you can even choose salt other then Sodium chloride common salt. and get a Magnesium/potassium chloride pool which feels even better to swim in and you can use the backwash to water the garden and watch it thrive.

By Shock I guess you mean a packet of Chrlorine marketed as "Shock or "Shock Treatment" which is esentially just chlorine packaged at a higfher price.

Will switching from chlorine chemical system to a salt water system ruin pool?
No A salt water pool is in fact also chlorine pool, the difference being that with a salt water pool a salt water chlorinator converts the salt that is in the water into chlorine gas which is then dissolved into the water while the filter is running. the conversion wont have any adverse effects on the pool.

How do you put salt shock in your swimming pool?
If you own a salt pool and you need to raise the salt level, go buy NON-IODIZED salt and add the appropriate amount (as determined by your particular salt-chlorinator's owners' manual) to get the level to where it needs to be. The salt addition process is nothing fancy; cut the corner of the bag with a box cutter and pour in the pool then sweep any that is resting on the bottom to get it to dissolve. Note: Adding salt is not shocking your pool, rather it is loading the gun that can be used to superchlorinate or "Shock" your water.
How much existing water needs to be pumped out when converting to salt water?
If you are converting a normal fresh water pool to a salt water pool you need not loose any water at all. If you are simply changing the the chlorinator designed for common salt ( Sodium Chloride) the you are unlikely to have to change any thing. Just check that the concentration is within the manufacturers parameters. On the other hand if you are converting from sodium chloride to Magnesium and Potassium Chloride I lost about 2/3 of my water. It would be best to check this with the manufacturer or installer

I don't want to use a salt chlorinator or chlorine My plan is to dump 4 tons of salt into it to create a sea water experience to get to 35 g per liter salt concentration has anyone done this before?
WHY? I'm not an expert so I don't know if bacteria and algae can survive in salt concentrations that high, however, I am sure that the water will be very corrosive at those levels. Also, any place the water splashes out of the pool, (including footsteps coming out) will evaporate leaving the salt residue. Just my two cents worth. Gary
Why does the chlorinator lid not open?
The chlorinator lid may not open due to several reasons, such as pressure buildup inside the unit, which can create a vacuum seal. Additionally, debris or corrosion around the lid's sealing surface can prevent it from turning or lifting. If the lid is stuck, applying gentle force or checking for operational issues with the chlorinator's mechanism might help. Always ensure it's safe to open by relieving any pressure beforehand.
