how many pounds of salt do you add to a 12000 gallon swimming pool?

Answer 1

salt is based on PPM or parts per million and a salt system operates around 3000 PPM on most systems. If you have no salt in your pool the amount of salt to add would be around 200 pounds but if you have some salt in the system then you need to find the ppm already in the pool and adjust as needed. Do not forget to add cyneric acid or you will lose what sanitizer is produced on the hot days.

Answer 2

Creating a salt water pool is a great way to reduce the need for chlorine treatments. For a 12,000 gallon swimming pool, one would need to add about 300 pounds of salt.

Answer 3

1 gram.
