To determine how much salt to add to an 18x4 pool, you first need to know the pool's volume in gallons. An 18-foot diameter pool that is 4 feet deep has a volume of approximately 6,600 gallons. For a saltwater pool, a typical salinity level is around 3,000 to 3,500 parts per million (ppm), which usually requires about 40-50 pounds of salt per 1,000 gallons of water. Therefore, you would need approximately 260-330 pounds of salt for your pool.

That depends on the size of your pool and the level of salt your chlorine generator needs to properly function (usually 3200-3400ppm). If you do not have a quality salt test, I recommend bringing a sample of your water to a local pool store to be tested. Bring your chlorine generator's manual with you and they will help you find where it shows how much salt to add. If your pool has been low on chlorine for more than a day or two, or if the water is cloudy or green, you will need to add some liquid chlorine to assist the chlorine generator in clearing it up.
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.
