Drop Test Sodium Chloride...Salt PPM For A Salt Pool..

What is the correct ppm for a salt water pool of 36,000 gallons?




Thanks for the question

It's not really the gallons of the pool but what your chlorine generator requires that determines the salinity of the pool.

Here are good posts that I would encourage you to read:

Are These Salt Water Pool Balance Readings Right?

Salt Water Pool Maintenance Guide

And also the main salt water pool page and chlorine generator page:

Salt Water Swimming Pools

Chlorine Generator

Most salt cells call for the salinity of the pool to be between 3000 - 4800ppm.

If you're unsure of what your range should be, I would encourage you to contact the manufacturer of your salt cell and ask them.

Get a Myron Salinity Meter and manually test your pool. This will give you a good backup and you can compare your reading against your chlorine generator.

The above links have all the information you need for your salt pool.

And be sure to check out the pool Q&A page. Lots more information there about salt pools, chlorine generators, pool problems, filtration, etc...
