Chlorine that is used up or spent usually causes itchy skin and/or a rash. To combat this add more chlorine to burn off the used chlorine, this will also reduce the chlorine smell. Well, the above answer is partially right. What is causing your skin to itch is improper pH balance. It is either too high or too low. It should be in the range of 7.4 ppm. Adding more chlorine will burn off the "chloramines" not the "used chlorine". Once the chlorine is used there is no more chlorine. Adding more chlorine will reduce the smell of chlorine or in proper terms the smell you are getting of chlorine is called chloramines.
What else can I help you with?
With the exception if the salt itself...can the Ph level in a salt water pool cause you to itch?
Yes, it is definitely a possibility. Salt will have no connection to the itching problem.
What do we use salt to?
Salt is put into swimming pools so that the water from the pool can be run through a salt water chlorinator which produces chlorine to disinfect the pools water.

How are salt water pools effected after a heavy rain?
Heavy rain can cause pools to overflow, the result of this is that some of the salt diluted in the water will be lost. However it is not as bad a sit sounds because the majority of the salt tends to work its way to the bottom of the pool when it is not in use so the loss of salt is strictly limited.
Are tide pools salt water?
YES
How do you get rid of water boatmen and backswimmers in a saltwater pool I have read where BioGuard works wonders for chlorinated pools but does it work for saltwater If not what does?
Salt water pools are in fact chlorine pools part of the salt is turned into chlorine by the salt water chlorinater If it works in a normally chlorinated pool it should also work in a salt water pool. However you should check if there is any metallic ingredient like copper in it as these are not recommended in salt water pools.
Do salt water pools cause excessive corrosion to pool equipment and cause damage to plaster pools?
YES! Salt water DEFINITELY causes corrosion in your swimming pool. I am a 25 year pool professional and I have seen first hand what salt does to gunite pools. It will eat you pool equipment, stone, concrete, metal, you name it. Keeping your pH neutral will slow down the process of corrosion, but it is still happening, regardless of your water chemistry. Do yourself a favor, DO NOT use salt in your pool.
Are salt water pools easier to maintain compared to traditional chlorine pools?
Salt water pools can be easier to maintain than traditional chlorine pools because they require less frequent monitoring and adjustment of chemical levels. However, salt water pools still require regular maintenance to ensure proper balance of chemicals and prevent algae growth.
Are salt water pools colder than chlorine pools?
Salt water pools typically maintain a similar temperature to chlorine pools since the method of sanitization (salt vs. chlorine) does not significantly affect the water temperature. Other factors, such as sun exposure, time of day, and climate, have a greater impact on the water temperature of the pool.
Are salt water pools safe for diabetes?
Yes
Do children like salt water swimming pools?
