Salt Water Above Ground Pool
by Gypsi L.
It states we do have the option of using salt. Do we need a different filtration system or can use the one that came with the pool? It's a chlorine filtration system. Thanks for the question Gypsi There is no special filtration needed for a salt pool. But a salt pool is slightly different than a regular chlorine pool. The salt chlorinator will still produce chlorine, or hypochlorous acid. A salt pool is not a chlorine free pool. The salt water pages will give you good information on the best way to take care of your salt pool, if you decide to go that route: Salt Water Swimming Pools Chlorine Generator And the pool Q&A page has more information and lots of answered questions concerning salt water pools: Swimming Pool Questions and Answers If you have any questions that are not found on those pages, please feel free to contact me. I've taken care of the YMCA salt pool (80,000 gallons) for the last 3 years. It's hot, so it's time to swim. Hope this helps and have fun with your new pool. Robert |
