Archimedes Principle. Archimedes said, "Any object, wholly or partially immersed in a fluid, is buoyed up by a force equal to the weight of the fluid displaced by the object." Therefore, since salt water is denser, and therefore heavier than an equal amount of water, you will be pushed upward by more force, and thus will weigh less.

What is the purpose of balancing tank in reflection pool?

If you have a deck level pool or spa (water level with the top of the pool, that usually overflows into a grating around the pool) when people get into the pool their body displaces water, this water is stored in the Balance tank until the people get out and the water is pumped out of the balance tank and back into the pool. A skimmer pool that has a lower water level than the top of the pool does not need a balance tank as the displacement is handled by the water level rising. Deck level pools and spas are considered more aesthetically pleasing.

Does a swimming pool have gravity?

Every thing exists under the same laws of Gravity. many things seem lighter in a swimming pool because they are relatively lighter in a heavy medium like water rather the light medium like air. Nearly every thing falls to the ground in air. however there are a lot of things that float or go up in water because they are lighter then water. this rule applies to every thing even things that sink.
