In Australia I an in the process of trying out a new system in saltwater pools that was is originally from Europe. So far "after about a month" I have found it outstanding, I have never seen the water as clean as it is now.
Rather then sand 100% fused silicon dioxide filtration media is used.
This is a salt water pool and the system. Normally these systems work with ordinary salt (Sodium chloride) which is not good for the environment and does not taste particularly pleasant in the water either.
This has been replaced wit a system that uses a combination of potassium chloride and Magnesium chloride The result is that the water in the pool is far less toxic and back wash water can be used for the garden rather then sewerage.
I use a floating Pool skimmer because I believe that if you take dirt from the top of the pool before it sinks the water stays truly clean and floating skimmers never lose adjustment. skimmers take advantage of the waters surface tension to attract floating debris. I have found that with the new salt this surface tension has increased some what keeping contaminants afloat longer for the skimmer to pick up when the pump comes on.

The best way to clean a pool with dried out leaves on the bottom is to fill the pool about an inch deep and allow enough time for the leaves to loosen up. Once the leaves are floating loose, take a wet and dry vacuum and suck out the leaves and water together.
To maintain water clarity in a cloudy pool, you can regularly clean the pool, balance the water chemistry, use a pool clarifier, and ensure proper filtration and circulation.
When backwashing a pool, you typically shut off the outlet. This is because backwashing involves reversing the flow of water through the filter to clean it, and by closing the outlet, you prevent clean water from flowing back into the pool during the process. Always follow the specific instructions for your filtration system for best results.
Drain the pool water, give the tiles some good pressure washing. It is best to use a surface cleaner from bestcargurus making sure that no moss and algae are stuck on the tiles. Then fill it up again with clean water
For starters you will have to find out how much salt needs to go into your pool You would brobably be best of taking the dimensions of you pool to a pool shop , along with a clean bottle containig a sample of the pools water from about an arms length down. they will be able to test the water and tel you exactly what you require to get the pool going again.
To maintain a salt water pool effectively, regularly test and balance the water chemistry, clean the pool and filter system, and monitor the salt levels. Additionally, ensure proper circulation and filtration of the water, and regularly inspect and maintain the pool equipment.
Use a floculant you will be able to get this at your pool shop You wil end up loosing a litle water but it is the best way to get the water crystal clear.
If you can empty the pool (safely, without damaging the pool), clean it up while empty and refill, that's your best option. Otherwise start by hitting the heck out of the water with chlorine, then start vacuuming (to waste) and brushing walls until clean.
Check the pools filtration system - Ensure that your filtration system is appropriate for the size of your pool. If you do not know the correct size for your specific pool, consult a pool expert. Replace the system if necessary. If the current system is adequate, clean out the filter (clean the cartridges or backwash) and empty the pump basket and skimmer baskets to re-establish proper flow to the pool.
There are two nouns. Water and pool are nouns.
== Cleaning a pool without chemicals== Actually, scientist have discovered that hen you use a special filtration system with a low percentage salty wtaer, you'll have to clean less our pool, with less chemicals, to have a better water quality. == Cleaning a pool without chemicals== Actually, scientist have discovered that hen you use a special filtration system with a low percentage salty wtaer, you'll have to clean less our pool, with less chemicals, to have a better water quality.
The best method of purifying your pool water is, without doubt, the saline (salt) water system. With only pure natural salt added to the water (very mild salinity, 1/3rd as salty as your own tears) a Saline System will produce all of the sanitizer your pool needs. It completely eliminates the need to add pool-chlorine, algaecides and 'shock' chemicals. Annual operating cost is as little as 410 worth of topup salt. You will have the best water you have ever seen or swum in, guaranteed.
