It depends on how much you're planning on using the pool.
I'm the pool operator at the YMCA and we have a salt pool which is kept between 55-65%, but that's with 2000 swimmers per week.
You may want to try around 15%, then adjust from there.
You should run a chlorinator every couple of weeks in your pool in order to keep it clean. Bacteria can grom in your pool and chlorine helps keep it clean.
A average pool with a chlorinator generally needs to run for about 6 to 8 hours depending on the bioload in the pool however some low speeds run for 24 hours so a separate timer may be needed for the chlorinator if it doesn't cut of automatically.
Don't run it non-stop. The length of time depends on the size of your chlorinator, dimensions of your pool, time of year/temperature, and how much you use your pool. Generally, run it 8 hrs. in the summertime, 6 in Fall and Spring, and 4 in winter.
You need a salt water chlorinator. A salt water chlorinator is an electronic devise that converts the salt in the water from the pool into chlorine gas that is then absorbed into the water.
A pool chlorinator can often be hired from the largest B&Q warehouses. They will hire it for a day or for a week if required. Alternatively a pool chlorinator can be hired from specialist pool suppliers online.
A fresh water swimming pool is a swimming pool that does not use a saltwater chlorinator. A pool that used a salt water chlorinator has salt added to it to so that a salt water chlorinator can electronically convert part of the salt into chlorine. A fresh water pool has chlorine added to it directly either manually or Automatically.
Yes, you can dio without the chlorinator. You can leave it in place, without tables, or you can disconnect and remove it, whichever you prefer. The saline system will produce all of the sanitizer (chlorine) your pool requires (provided it is the correct size for your pool).
That usually have a adjustment to turn them down, otherwise you will have to run it for less time. This can be done with a second timer. Be careful that the filter is always in operation when the chlorinater is in operation.
not salt water, but its better for your health! Salt is not a pool cleaner, it is usually there to make chlorine via a "salt system"
Yes if you are using a chlorinator. salt is sodium chloride and the chlorinator converts it to sodium hypo-chloride which is chlorine.
The same as any other pool.
Most pool shops carry it and some department stores and hardwares
