For a 15 x 30-foot pool, you typically need about 3-4 bags of salt, depending on the salt concentration and the pool's specific needs. A standard bag of pool salt usually weighs 40 pounds and can raise the salinity by around 1,000 ppm for 10,000 gallons of water. Since a 15 x 30 pool is approximately 15,000 gallons, you may need around 7-8 bags to achieve the desired salt level, but always refer to your saltwater system's guidelines for precise calculations.

What mean salt?
If you have a salt-water pool and you have an indicator that says add salt it means that the amount of salt in the pool is not enough for the chlorinator to manufacture chlorine. Take a sample of water to your pool shop and they will help you with what is required. Or get a couple of bags of salt and add salt until the salt warning stops. The latter is a bit of a dodgy way of going about it.
How much salt does a 16x32 pool need?
Our 20 x 40 with a shallow & deep end needs 10 to 12 bags @ 40lbs. each at the start of each season to reach the correct ppm for our chlorine generator. I'd start with 6 and have two more handy. Y ou will need them after a heavy rain anyway... Jim
What to do with hardened bags of pool salt?
If the pool salt has hardened, you can break it up using a sturdy stick or mallet. You can also try using a hammer or a chisel to break it into smaller pieces. Store the salt in an airtight container to prevent it from hardening again.
How much salt needed for new pool?
The store where you bought the salt system can probably tell you how much. It all depends on how big, and thus how much water is in your pool. If you tell them the size and depth of the pool they should be able to tell you about how much salt you'll need to add.
Can you add salt with anti caking agent to a saltwater pool?

How do you turn a pool to salt water?
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 asample 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.
Can salt evaporate with pool water?
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.
Why does the Pool shop advises that l have too much salt in the pool and may have to empty it and start again what do you suggest?
Salt water pools should be maintained between 3000 and 4000 ppm. More salt than this will cause excessive scaling around the tiles and salt cell. Less salt will not produce enough chlorine gas to sanitize the pool.
