You can but is not recommended. Rock salt takes longer to dissolve and it can stain your pool because it contains impurities.
Salt water pools
Solution weathering is caused when rocks sit in a pool of saltwater.
The type of chemical weathering caused when rocks sit in a pool of saltwater is known as salt weathering. Saltwater can seep into the pores or cracks of rocks, where the salt crystals form as the water evaporates. The growth of these crystals puts pressure on the rock, leading to its weathering and eventual breakdown.
Sure, you CAN, but why would you want to? The purpose of the salt in a saltwater system equipped pool is to provide the chlorine the saltwater system generates. It would be the same as having a saltwater system pool that the saltwater system went bad and you just installed an inline chlorinator in the plumbing instead of replacing the saltwater chlorine generator system so you could add chlorine with the tablets.
I don't think there is such a thing as a "SALTWATER POOL CLEANER". You may have a pool cleaning device that works in either a salt pool or a standard no salt pool.
Yes, you can add salt to a chlorine pool to create a saltwater pool system. This salt is converted into chlorine through the process of electrolysis, providing a more natural and softer water experience compared to traditional chlorine pools. Be sure to follow manufacturer instructions for the appropriate salt levels and use a saltwater generator to convert the salt into chlorine.
Either the to much salt was added or the sensor is out of calibration or bad.
Many people will say that saltwater systems are as good for your pool as chlorinated systems. Saltwater systems are not as harsh on your pool system or for the people that enjoy the pool itself.
No A salt water pool is in fact also chlorine pool, the difference being that with a salt water pool a salt water chlorinator converts the salt that is in the water into chlorine gas which is then dissolved into the water while the filter is running. the conversion wont have any adverse effects on the pool.
Converting a chlorine pool to a saltwater pool typically takes about one to two days. The process involves draining some of the existing water, installing a saltwater chlorinator, and adding the appropriate amount of salt to the pool. After the installation, it may take several hours for the system to circulate and dissolve the salt before the pool is ready for use. Regular testing and balancing of water chemistry are also necessary during the transition.
Yes, a sand filter is still necessary. A saltwater system generates chlorine, but doesn't remove debris or clarify the water. The sand filter is essential for trapping particles and keeping the pool clean.
Stop adding salt to the pool and use tablets and shock when needed.
