It all depends on your pool. The amount of water is a factor as well as the amount of chlorine your pool need based on bather load and other factors. You should start low and frequently test your water while increasing the production until the chlorine level is correct. You should not need anywhere near full capacity unless you have an extremely large pool or a lot of swimmers. I'd suggest starting at 20% for a day, testing your water and adjust from there.

Pool chlorine or salt system?

Don't be confused, all a salt system does is perpetually produce chlorine, you still have chlorine in your pool. The advantage is you don't have to go to the pool shop and buy chlorine to add on a regular basis. And if you think about the chlorine level when you, on a weekly basis, add 10L of chlorine. When you do that the chlorine level spikes then fades away until next time. That spike is hard on every part of your pool. With a salt system there is no large spike as it's making little bits of chlorine every few minutes. What you have to be cautious about with a salt system is that it's not maintenance free. You still have to make sure the rest of your water chemistry is on par. AND you can't just put the system on, set it to 100% and walk away. In most cases you can set the system to 20-30% production and that is more then enough!

Why are you smelling a VERY strong chlorine odor in the salt water system pool?

It may not be chlorine but by-products from the reaction between the chlorine & organic materials introduced into the water, especially perspiration & urine. It is these by-products that irritate the eyes & skin. If it is chlorine you are probably over-dosing the pool, but I'd also verify the pH and alkalinity before you correct the disinfectant.

Is a chlorine system or a salt water system the best for a lined pool?

A salt system IS a chlorine system. Chlorine is still the sanitizer. The salt system is there so a chlorine generator can make the chlorine from the salt instead of you having to deal with it. There is no such thing as "best", only tradeoffs. A salt system is expensive even if you break it down per year (with initial and replacement costs). However much less maintenance. A salt system IS perfectly safe for a vinyl, or any type, pool.


How does chlorine bleach affect the endocrine system?

Chlorine bleach contains chemicals that can disrupt the endocrine system by acting as endocrine disruptors. When these chemicals are released into the environment, they can interfere with hormonal signaling in humans and animals, potentially leading to a range of health issues.

Why does the chlorine light not come on on your intex salt water pool system?

If the chlorine light on your Intex salt water pool system isn't coming on, it could be due to several reasons. First, check if the unit is powered on and that the salt level is within the recommended range since low salt levels can prevent chlorine production. Additionally, ensure that the filter is running and that the system is free of any blockages. Lastly, inspect the connections and the control panel for any faults that may affect operation.
