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 you shock a salt pool with chlorine?

It would be fine to add chlorine, but do it in each corner of the pool. You will not do any harm to the system. Make sure your pool water is balanced. This requires a good proper kit like they use at the pool shops, or have it tested at a computerized pool teting centre. The old large kit that tests for acid levels around 4"x6" is the size of the blue plastic box and roughly 80-100 dollars. a little more salt than not enough is always better. Regards, Peter

How do you convert choline pool to a salt pool and what will my cost likely be?

You don't convert a chlorine pool to salt pool. Chlorine generators use salt to make chlorine in your pool. Therefore a salt water pool is a chlorine pool, you are just introducing the chlorine to the water a different way. The cost is based on the price of the chlorine generator you buy and the amount of salt required for the number of gallons in your pool. If you buy a system from the internet and install it yourself, a typical model for a 25,000 gallon pool is about $1,000. However, this generally means no warranty as the "proper installation" caveat may apply. Purchasing the same model from a local dealer, installed, should run in the neighborhood of $1,500. This will get you a professional job and a full warranty. POOL_N_SPA_WAREHOUSE
