It depends on the size of your pool. My pool is 18 x 36 inground, approximately 24,000 gallons. We put in 600 lbs. of pool salt, when we started.

No Pool water evaporates in one day or one week

Yes you can. The question is not about the salt is about whether your pool is sanitary or not and that has to do with your chlorine level mostly.

Is there a swimming pool system that allows one to have a seawater pool at home?
Yes, In Key West Florida, the Hemmingway house has one. It uses a pipeline to the sea that actually cleans it. Sea water is pretty disgusting (correct) You can make your pool,hottub and even bathtub a Salt water pool, Go to www.h2oco.com and look up salt water then give me a call at 801-232-5893 800-488-2436 Kenny Answer: There is a way to make your pool a salt chlorination swimming pool, but that is not exactly sea water. The chlorine is put through a process which turns it into a natural salt solution which cleans your water in effect making it a salt water pool.
Is having to add salt to your pool each month when using the salt chlorine generator normal?
Follow the manual or the bag of salt instructions. You are not adding enough salt at one time. You may have a leak. And with refilling the pool you are diluting the chemistry balance. Go back to square one and read what needs to be done. k
What's the difference between a salt water swimming pool and one that uses chlorine since the salt water breaks down into chlorine anyway?
Salt water does not breakdown into chlorine for a salt water swimming pool unless you have a salt water chlorinator. Other then that many people feel that a salt water pool is a more pleasant feeling environment to swim in. other then that they are both in fact chlorine pools.
What is the difference in pool salt and table salt?
the chemical compound for table salt is NaCl, which is one atom of sodium and one atom of chlorine. the formula for pool salt is either NaOCl or NaOH. The NaOCl is table salt with an extra oxygen atom. The NaOH however, is sodium with oxygen and hydrogen. the oxygen and hydrogen compound is an acid that will cause internal issues if ingested.
Why can you only add one bag of pool salt at a time?
No you can add as many as you wish
What kind of pool is cheapest out of salt water and chlorine?
I have found my salt pool much cheaper than chlorine. If you also factor in the labor with a chlorine pool then you really see a difference.Combine the salt generator with an automatic pool cleaner and the pool is almost maintenence free. Last year I only added a little stabalizer to the pool. that's it. the water tests are always perfect. I live in south Florida. A: both in the above are essentially the same thing. With one you add the chlorine manually. With the other it is manufactured on site in the pool thru the salt system. That same system is how they make liquid chlorine. Please get into your minds that they are not totally two different animals. If you were talking about Baquacil and Chlorine then you do have a difference. Period.
Is dishwasher salt the same as swimming pool salt?
NO ------- Dishwasher salt is, however, the same as softener salt as used in water softeners for houses. You could use granular or tablet form. It's approximately one third to one quarter of the price per pound /kilo. You may be causing more harm to the pool & equipment by using other type salt. The savings from the wrong salt could result in replacing major components of the pool system. Not a good idea. Use what is recommended - there is a reason for those recommendations.
How much salt is there really in a pound of salt?
One pound of salt.
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
