mabye cause the people that go in the pool (WARNING= dont drink pool water
Yes, it is definitely a possibility. Salt will have no connection to the itching problem.
You can buy salt test stripes at any local pool store or have them check it for you.
Yes you can. The question is not about the salt is about whether your pool is sanitary or not and that has to do with your chlorine level mostly.
No, the reason you have to have a certain amount of salt in a pool, is for disinfecting and cleaning reasons.I own a salt water pool and the salt level is not always correct, but I notice no difference. We also have pool guys and they handle the salt with no gloves.
Are you using iodized salt or pool salt? I've read that the iodine in the iodized salt will leave yellow staining in the pool.
If you are adding salt to a salt water pool with a salt water chlorination system and the TDS level does not go up then the problem probably lies with the chlorination system not working (the electrolysis unit or power supply). Adding salt directly to the pool will increase the TDS (Total Dissolved Salts) concentration of the water.
The ideal salt level is between 2700-3400 ppm (parts per million) with 3200 ppm being optimal. Before adding salt to your pool, test the water to check your salt level.
Backwash's, pool overflowing as a result of rain or overfilling, water being splashed over the side. swimmers taking out water on their body's as they get out of the pool and my dog drinking the pool water.
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.
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.
The pool panel has to be repaired in order to indicate the correct level of salt.
It depends how many gallons your pool is. Once you buy your chlorinating system, the install manual will tell you how much salt to add based on how many gallons in the pool. I have an Autopilot Digital and it tells me when it needs salt. I still check it with test strips to be safe.
