What pool supplies do you need for a salt water pool?

Salt: The most important supply for a saltwater pool is salt. You will need to add salt to the pool water on a regular basis, as it is used up by the chlorination process. The amount of salt you need will depend on the size of your pool.

Chlorine: While saltwater pools do not require chlorine tablets or granules, you will still need to add a small amount of chlorine to the water. This is because the salt chlorinator does not produce enough chlorine to completely sanitize the pool water. The amount of chlorine you need will depend on the size of your pool and the amount of salt you are using.

pH Balancer: The pH level of your pool water should be between 7.2 and 7.8. You will need to test the pH level of your pool water regularly, and add pH balancer as needed to keep the pH level within the ideal range.

Alkalinity Increaser: The alkalinity of your pool water should be between 80 and 120 ppm. You will need to test the alkalinity of your pool water regularly, and add alkalinity increaser as needed to keep the alkalinity level within the ideal range.

Calcium Hardness Increaser: The calcium hardness of your pool water should be between 250 and 500 ppm. You will need to test the calcium hardness of your pool water regularly, and add calcium hardness increaser as needed to keep the calcium hardness level within the ideal range.

Stabilizer: Stabilizer helps to prevent the chlorine in your saltwater pool from breaking down too quickly. You will need to add stabilizer to your pool water on a regular basis.

Test Kit: You will need a test kit to test the pH, alkalinity, chlorine, and calcium hardness levels of your pool water. Test the water often.
