Water.

Try a pool shop
buy the pump and the salt.
No, You have to have a salt/Chlorine generator or you'll just be swimming in a slime salt water body of water.
Yes. The salt is run through a chlorinator that changes the salt to chlorine. It won't do it by itself so you have to buy the generator to do this.
You can buy salt test stripes at any local pool store or have them check it for you.
You don't convert a chlorine pool to salt pool. Chlorine generators use salt to make chlorine in your pool. Therefore a salt water pool is a chlorine pool, you are just introducing the chlorine to the water a different way. The cost is based on the price of the chlorine generator you buy and the amount of salt required for the number of gallons in your pool. If you buy a system from the internet and install it yourself, a typical model for a 25,000 gallon pool is about $1,000. However, this generally means no warranty as the "proper installation" caveat may apply. Purchasing the same model from a local dealer, installed, should run in the neighborhood of $1,500. This will get you a professional job and a full warranty. POOL_N_SPA_WAREHOUSE
The salt that isnormally used in salt water pools is Sodium Chloride. and this is the same as table salt. However rather then going to the grocery shop for it you will find that pool shops and some hardware and department stores Cary bags of the stuff. If you go to a pool shop take a sample of water and the size of the pool with you along with the type of saltwater chlorinator you have and they will be able to let you know how much you need.
Salt generators make the same chemical, sodium hypochlorite, that you buy at the store. The major difference is that it costs a lot more to make than to buy it. See other posts I have made in this arena for more info.A salt water pool IS a chlorine pool. Period! IF it needs shocking you shock it the same way as any chlorine pool, by adding more chlorine either by manually adding it or setting the SWCG to the boost or shock setting.

I found Walmart to have the best price on pool salt. Only $5.97 a bag. My local pool store sells the exact thing for $13.95 and another pool store sells for $7.99. Water softener salt without any extra additives is fine as well, might be a little cheaper at Lowe's or Home Depot, think I paid $5.40 a bag for water softener salt recently, it'll dissolve fine, just the stuff labeled pool salt is ground up more.
There are above ground pool salt water systems available. These systems turn salt into chlorine. All you have to do is add a piece of equipment to your pool. Which product you buy depends on your pool. Your pool will look, feel, and smell much better. You will also spend less time maintaining your pool. It will cost you to buy the equipment ($150 and up), but I think you will be very happy with the results.
