I assume you have a salt chlorinator. If you don't there would be no practical reason to add salt to your pool. To determine how much salt to add you must first check the manufacturer of the salt system. A typical level would be around 3000 ppm. The next thing to know would be your gallonage which you have stated to be 1185 gallons. That is a very small pool. A small spa will easily hold 600 gallons, and I have worked on several large spas that would easily hold more than 1185 gallons.
Could it be 11850 gallons?
Double check your gallonage and contact the manufacturer of the salt system. Not all systems run the same salt levels.
For a non-INTEX pool you need 50 lbs. of salt for 2,000 gallons. or water capacity in gallons X 0.025.
It depends on the size of your pool. My pool is 18 x 36 inground, approximately 24,000 gallons. We put in 600 lbs. of pool salt, when we started.
To determine how much salt to add to an 18x4 pool, you first need to know the pool's volume in gallons. An 18-foot diameter pool that is 4 feet deep has a volume of approximately 6,600 gallons. For a saltwater pool, a typical salinity level is around 3,000 to 3,500 parts per million (ppm), which usually requires about 40-50 pounds of salt per 1,000 gallons of water. Therefore, you would need approximately 260-330 pounds of salt for your pool.
The answer is 208 lbs of salt. The equation is roughly 26lbs per 1000 gallons.
To determine how much salt a 12 ft x 39 in pool needs, you first need to calculate the pool's volume in gallons. A pool of this size holds approximately 1,600 gallons. For a saltwater system, a typical salinity level is around 3,000-3,500 ppm, which usually requires about 40 pounds of salt per 1,000 gallons of water. Therefore, you would need around 64 to 80 pounds of salt to achieve the desired salinity level for your pool.
40k gallons
If you have a "chlorine generator" that requires salt in the water, ALWAYS refer to the manufacturers recommendations for the proper amount.
To determine the amount of salt needed for a 16x32x8 inground pool, first calculate the volume of the pool in gallons. The volume is approximately 4,608 gallons. Most saltwater chlorinators require about 3,000 to 4,000 ppm (parts per million) of salt, which translates to roughly 50-75 pounds of salt for this volume. Therefore, you would typically need around 50-100 pounds of salt to achieve the desired salinity.
To start a saltwater pool with a volume of 27,000 gallons, you'll typically need about 3,000-4,000 parts per million (ppm) of salt. This translates to roughly 800-1,200 pounds of salt, depending on the specific requirements of your salt chlorine generator and the desired salinity level. It's essential to check the manufacturer's guidelines for your specific system to ensure proper salinity for optimal performance.
You need to know how what size your pool is. But to raise your salt level 1000 ppm, add approximately 80 lbs of salt for every 10,000 gallons of water. Adjust tequila and lime to taste.
For a saltwater pool, the standard requirement is around 3200 ppm (parts per million) of salt. To achieve this in 23000 gallons of water, you would need to add approximately 161 pounds of salt. It's important to use a salt measuring tool to ensure the correct amount is added.
Assuming you have a chlorine generator and actually need to add salt, the amount is determined by the manufacturer of the device you purchased. Looking in the instruction manual will tell you what the required sodium level is for your particular unit (somewhere around 3,000 ppm is typical). Then you must test the water to see what the sodium level is currently. The difference is what needs to be made up. It takes roughly 25lbs of salt per 1,000 gallons of water to go from zero to 3,000 ppm. So you need about 112 lbs if your 4,500 gallon pool is at zero ppm now. Pool & Spa
