How much salt goes into a swimming pool?

Answer 1

It depends how many gallons your pool is. Once you buy your chlorinating system, the install manual will tell you how much salt to add based on how many gallons in the pool. I have an Autopilot Digital and it tells me when it needs salt. I still check it with test strips to be safe.

Answer 2

You do have CHLORINE! My word are these things misunderstood. You are making chlorine from the salt!

I may add::

Find and read the instructions for the salt system. -- obviously you did not do that -- READ or have it read for you and educate yourself as to the parameters of pool maintenance and maintenance of the equipment that you have had installed. YOU DO HAVE A CHLORINE/SALT POOL..... If you added the salt system because you did not want chlorine in the pool then you have absolutely done the wrong thing. How were you planning on sanitizing the water? While you are at it -- familiarize yourself with the rest of the pool equipment because it is going to be in your yard for some time to come. You are now committed to daily or weekly pool maintenance from here on out. Salt is not the only thing that you have to add to the water in order to maintain it. Do some homework and fine out what it takes to have a pool -- SOON. Otherwise your $30 to $80,000 investment will be nothing but a horrible smelly pit.

If you do not have a salt system - adding salt to the pool does not make it a salt system pool. You have to have the equipment to change the salt to chlorine.
