Clean the leaves and rubbish from the bottom, clean the filtration system, clean out the leaf baskets, clean out any build up of in the chlorine generator, Make sure there is sufficient water in the pool to cover the static skimmer. Check that the pump works.
All pools are different after standing for a period of time so at this point I would take a
sample of pool water in a clean bottle from about an arms length down from the surface and take it to a pool shop where it can be tested and advice given depending on the results. make sure you mention that it is a saltwater pool.
It is not the salt water pool or the salt water that is turning your hair green. It is a poorly maintained pool with a chemical imbalance - pH and total alkalinity out of required parameters.
Yes, salt can evaporate with pool water. As pool water evaporates, the salt content remains in the pool. When the water evaporates, the salt will be left behind and may accumulate in the pool. Regular testing and monitoring of the pool water chemistry is important to maintain the proper salt levels.
Yes you can retrofit a salt water pool system onto your existing pool equipment without too much trouble.
Add salt
Turn of the salt water chlorination and start adding chlorine the same as you would in an ordinary pool. The salt water in the pool will become less salty over time so you don't have to worry about changing the water. You could tidy it up a little by removing the saltwater chlorinator element or you could just leave it.
Salt can be turned into chlorine through a process called electrolysis. In a saltwater pool, a salt chlorine generator uses electricity to break down salt molecules into sodium and chloride. The chloride then combines with water to produce chlorine, which sanitizes the pool water.
Converting to a salt water pool requires the installation of a chlorine generator, and the salt for the pool water. Salt water pool are in fact chlorine pools the difference lays in the fact that chlorine is produced by running salt water through electrodes that in turn releases chlorine from the salt which is usually Sodium chloride (common salt) It may pay to also look at A new more environmentally friendly and healthier alternative By looking at Magnesium and potassium chloride salts.
No. salt water is salt water. it already has salt in it
Simply put any pool can be a salt water pool, even an above ground pool.
It's because the salt from the water stays on your skin, and the sun drys it out. So if you need to use lotion.
No you will not have a salt water pool. yes you will have salt water but the actual electronic plates found in a genrator converts the salt in the water to chlorine to sanitize the pool water. A: You have to have the mechanical device to produce the chlorine in a salt pool. THE SALT A MEANS TO PRODUCE CHLORINE FOR YOUR POOL!
Salt water pools are high in free chlorides, which will cause chloride stress corrosion cracking in stainless steel heaters. Copper heaters will react with the salt water and turn the pool green. Im afraid that very noble and very expensive materials are required to heat a salt water pool.
