Once you have a chlorine reading, the use of Cyanuric Acid will help keep the chlorine from letting sunlight dissipate it. Keep in mind that many induced salywater pools manufacture chlorine from electroylsis of the salt water.

What do you do if chlorine in saltwater pool is high?

If the chlorine levels in your saltwater pool are high, you should first stop adding chlorine to the pool. Allow the chlorine levels to naturally decrease over time due to sunlight exposure and pool usage. You can also dilute the pool water by adding fresh water to help reduce the chlorine concentration. Regularly test the water to monitor the chlorine levels until they fall within the recommended range.


How does the saltwater filter produce chlorine?

A saltwater filter uses a process called electrolysis to convert salt into chlorine gas. When the saltwater passes through the filter cell, an electrical current is applied, causing the salt to break down into its chemical components, including chlorine. This chlorine then disinfects the pool water.


How do you get the free chlorine level down in your saltwater pool?

To give you an accurate answer, it's important to know how many gallons are in the pool, how high is your Free Available Chlorine (FAC), and what is your Combined Chlorine Reading. Is pool enclosed and protected from sun etc? Is your chlorine generator working properly? You could simply shut down the generator and test your pool everyday at the same time. Keep records of pH, Free Chlorine, Combined Chlorine, Alkalinity, etc. It's important that you maintain a proper pH at ALL TIMES.


How can you make your pool saline and not chlorine?

To make your pool saline and not chlorine, you would install a saltwater chlorinator system. This system uses salt to produce chlorine through the process of electrolysis, eliminating the need to manually add chlorine to the pool. Saltwater pools are often preferred for their milder chlorine levels and potential cost savings in the long run.


What is a chlorine generator?

Many people are choosing to remodel their swimming pool systems to add saltwater chlorination. With a saltwater pool system, a chlorine generator is added to the pool's filtration system. The water circulates through the chlorinator, where salt produces a chlorine gas that dissolves into the water. That chlorine in turn, breaks down and turns into salt, cycling the process all over again.

Is the old pump and filtration system necessary when adding a saltwater chlorine generator?

Yes you still need a pump and filter. The saltwater system generates chlorine and eliminates the need for chlorine tabs. You will still need to keep the water balanced and continue normal pool maintenance.

Can you use salt and chlorine in your pool?

Yes as a mater of fact that is what salt water pool normally is. With a salt water pool there is a electronic salt water chlorinator installed that uses the salt in the water to create chlorine. However if you don't have a salt water chlorinator and prefer the feeling of a salt water pool then there is no reason not to add salt to the pool as well as keeping up the chlorine yourself.


Can I Mix salt in a chlorine pool?

Yes, you can add salt to a chlorine pool to create a saltwater pool system. This salt is converted into chlorine through the process of electrolysis, providing a more natural and softer water experience compared to traditional chlorine pools. Be sure to follow manufacturer instructions for the appropriate salt levels and use a saltwater generator to convert the salt into chlorine.
