No matter how hard the bags seem, it's truly not a solid brick of salt. Pick up the bag and drop it onto concrete ... the hardened salt will break right up.

How do you turn salt into chlorine?

Salt can be turned into chlorine through a process called electrolysis. In a saltwater pool, a salt chlorine generator uses electricity to break down salt molecules into sodium and chloride. The chloride then combines with water to produce chlorine, which sanitizes the pool water.


Can baking soda be used in a salt water pool?

Yes, baking soda can be used in a salt water pool to help maintain the proper pH levels. It can be used to raise the alkalinity of the water and prevent pH fluctuations, resulting in a more balanced and stable pool environment. It is important to follow proper dosing instructions to avoid over-treating the pool.


Why does a salt water pool smell like chlorine?

A salt water pool does not actually smell like chlorine. The smell comes from chloramines, which are compounds produced when chlorine combines with contaminants in the water. Salt water pools use a chlorine generator to create chlorine from salt, but should have lower levels of chloramines compared to traditional chlorine pools.


What are the main chemicals in a saltwater pool?

The main chemicals in a saltwater pool are sodium chloride (salt) and chlorine. The salt is converted into chlorine through a process called electrolysis, which helps to sanitize the pool water. Additionally, other chemicals such as stabilizer (cyanuric acid) and pH adjusters may be needed to maintain proper water balance.


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.

How much salt do you have to a to a saltwater pool per year on average?

Two or three bags at worst.


What mean salt?

If you have a salt-water pool and you have an indicator that says add salt it means that the amount of salt in the pool is not enough for the chlorinator to manufacture chlorine. Take a sample of water to your pool shop and they will help you with what is required. Or get a couple of bags of salt and add salt until the salt warning stops. The latter is a bit of a dodgy way of going about it.

Salt system for your pool do you use table salt for it and where can you buy this in bulk?

The salt that isnormally used in salt water pools is Sodium Chloride. and this is the same as table salt. However rather then going to the grocery shop for it you will find that pool shops and some hardware and department stores Cary bags of the stuff. If you go to a pool shop take a sample of water and the size of the pool with you along with the type of saltwater chlorinator you have and they will be able to let you know how much you need.


Can salt evaporate with pool water?

Yes, salt can evaporate with pool water. As pool water evaporates, the salt content remains in the pool. When the water evaporates, the salt will be left behind and may accumulate in the pool. Regular testing and monitoring of the pool water chemistry is important to maintain the proper salt levels.

What should you add to a salt water pool besides salt to keep the pool at top condition?

I assume that you understand that 'salt' alone will do nothing for your pool and that you require the Saline System equipment. Salt is added initially andthereafter only top up salt is required (maybe a couple of 50 pound bags per year, on average). A saline pool requires everything that any other pool requires, with ONE EXCEPTION. The saline system will produce the sanitizer, so you do not need to add any sanitizing/oxidizing chemicals such as 'pool chlorine', algaecide or 'shock' chemicals. Everything else is the same and must be maintained as per normal pool care recommendations (pH, alkalinity, conditioner, calcium hardness etc). A salt water pool converts the salt in the pool electronically to produce chlorine gas which is then dissolved into the water, so aside from making sure the salt content in the pool is OK the treatment is about the same. Except you don't have to put chlorine in


How do you convert a fresh water pool to a salt water pool?

Add salt


Can you make your own saltwater by just adding salt into your pool and if so how much salt and what type of salt should you use?

No you will not have a salt water pool. yes you will have salt water but the actual electronic plates found in a genrator converts the salt in the water to chlorine to sanitize the pool water. A: You have to have the mechanical device to produce the chlorine in a salt pool. THE SALT A MEANS TO PRODUCE CHLORINE FOR YOUR POOL!
