What else can I help you with?
Is saltwater pools iodized?
Saltwater pools typically use sodium chloride (table salt) to generate chlorine through a saltwater chlorinator, but this salt is usually not iodized. Iodized salt contains added iodine to prevent iodine deficiency, which is not necessary for pool sanitation. Therefore, while the salt in saltwater pools is essential for maintaining water quality, it is generally non-iodized.

You can use either type of salt, but the salt for pools is better because it dissolves very quickly. 40 lbs bags cost around $6 at major home improvement chains. It is highly recommended to use nothing but pool salt for chlorine generated pools. YOU CAN NOT USE "EITHER" TYPE OF SALT!!! To save a few cents per bag of salt will cost you an arm and a leg in repairs to damaged equipment ( salt generator). Swimming pools and related equipment do not do well when you cut corners on cost. You may be able to do it on a few items but in the long run it will end up costing you more. USE WHAT IS RECOMMENDED BY THE MANUFACTURER OF THE SALT SYSTEM !
