How do you convert a chlorine pool to salt water pool?

- Before making any changes to the pool's chemistry, you need to drain down at least 50% of the water from the pool.

- Add chemicals to the remaining pool water to neutralize the chlorine and lower the chlorine level to 0 ppm.

- Rinse the sides of the pool with a hose to remove any remaining chlorine residue.

Step 2: Install the Salt Chlorinator

- Choose a suitable saltwater chlorinator based on the size of your pool and follow the manufacturer's instructions for installation.

Step 3: Add Salt

- Calculate the amount of salt required based on the size of your pool and the manufacturer's recommendations. (typically around 2,500 to 3,500 ppm).

- Add the salt directly to the pool water while the pump is running.

Step 4: Balance the Pool Water

- Adjust the pH level to the ideal range of 7.2-7.8.

- Adjust the alkalinity level to within the appropriate range.

- Ensure that the calcium hardness is within the recommended limits.

Step 5: Start the Salt Chlorinator

- Switch on the salt chlorinator according to the manufacturer's instructions.

- Set the desired chlorine production level.

Step 6: Monitor and Maintain

- Regularly check the chlorine level and adjust as necessary.

- Monitor the salt level and replenish it as required.

- Maintain proper water balance to ensure the efficiency and longevity of the saltwater chlorinator.

- Regularly clean the salt chlorinator's cell to prevent mineral buildup and maintain optimal performance.
