Salt pools still require weekly shock maintenance, but not near the amount that a chlorine pool would need. There are Salt Pool Shock Treatments out there for your particular pool setup.
Adding a great amount of salt in a single step is a salt shock.
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.
No
the same as before. whoever told you that you didnt have to shock and use algaecide lied. the same as before. whoever told you that you didnt have to shock and use algaecide lied.
By Shock I guess you mean a packet of Chrlorine marketed as "Shock or "Shock Treatment" which is esentially just chlorine packaged at a higfher price. Any ususal powdered or liquied chlorine will do the same job except those that are Di chlor or tri chlor. No need to turn of the salt chlorinator at all.
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.
The smallest unit of salt that is still salt is a molecule. Salt is typically composed of one sodium ion (Na+) and one chloride ion (Cl-), which together form a neutral molecule of sodium chloride (NaCl). Each molecule of NaCl contains one atom of sodium and one atom of chlorine.
Salt water is still salt water no matter where it goes as long as there is still salt in the water.
Yes
It would be fine to add chlorine, but do it in each corner of the pool. You will not do any harm to the system. Make sure your pool water is balanced. This requires a good proper kit like they use at the pool shops, or have it tested at a computerized pool teting centre. The old large kit that tests for acid levels around 4"x6" is the size of the blue plastic box and roughly 80-100 dollars. a little more salt than not enough is always better. Regards, Peter
