Yes, you can use shock powder in saltwater pools, but it's important to choose a product specifically labeled for such systems. Regular chlorine shock can be used, but ensure it’s compatible with salt systems to avoid damaging equipment or affecting water balance. Always follow the manufacturer's instructions and test the water afterward to maintain proper chemical levels.
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.

first, put the mixture in water . salt will dissolve and then allow chalk powder to settle down. Then try decantation.
To determine the appropriate amount of shock powder for a 15ft by 42in pool, you typically need about 1 pound of shock per 10,000 gallons of water. A pool of that size holds approximately 4,500 gallons. Therefore, you would use about 0.45 pounds (or approximately 7.2 ounces) of shock powder. Always refer to the specific product instructions for precise dosing, as concentrations can vary.
You can try baking soda, but reduce any additional salt.
It’s generally recommended to wait before adding salt to your pool after shocking it. Allow the chlorine levels to return to normal, as adding salt immediately can interfere with the shock treatment's effectiveness. Typically, waiting at least 24 hours before adding salt is advisable, but always check the instructions for your specific pool system and shock treatment.
It is not recommended to put Epsom salt in an inflatable pool, as it can damage the material and shorten the pool's lifespan. It is better to use pool-safe chemicals specifically designed for inflatable pools to maintain water quality.
1. Put the mixture in water and stir. 2. Salt is water soluble, sand not. 3. Filter the suspension: sand remain on the filter and the salt in solution.
The most common problem with salt not meant for pools is the additives that get put in them. The most common being the anticaking agent YPS (yellow prussiate of soda) that will clog the fins in the cell.
Salt is put in some pools in order for the water to interact with a chlorine generator. a salt water pool produces chlorine automatically while it is running
