It tells you how much salt you need to add for each various above ground pool shapes and sizes. Cyanuric acid stabilizes your pool water. It prevents the chlorine in your pool from being consumed by ultraviolet rays.
Too much alkalinity will cause cloudy pool water, while too little of it may damage your pool liner and some of your pool equipment. To lower alkalinity, you may use muriatic acid or a sodium bisulfate product. To raise alkalinity, you can use sodium bicarbonate. Calcium hardness must be balanced because high levels can lead to scaling and low levels will cause corrosion. The optimum calcium hardness level is between and ppm.
When it comes to increasing calcium hardness, you may have to consult a pool professional since it will require their expertise on the matter. Hopefully, this guide helped you learn how to properly clean your saltwater Intex pool to ensure that you have a safe swimming environment and that your saltwater pool system lasts longer.

Pool owners no longer have to endure the expense and time of constant trips to the store and the dangers of handling and storing traditional packaged chlorine. And the level of salt is so low, that swimmers do not even know that it is there! Yes, it is the same product. The "Saltwater System" name describes more clearly the advantages of the product and eliminates confusion with traditional pool chemicals.
INTEX Saltwater System will provide you with a number of important benefits: First, the advantage of not having to use traditional packaged chlorine: Traditional packaged chlorine is a dangerous, unstable, hazardous chemical. INTEX Saltwater System eliminates the problem by using salt, a natural substance, to electrolyze chlorine into the water. Second, natural softened pool water: the level of salt in the pool water is so low that is not noticeable.
There is no salty taste, smell, or cloudiness in the water. However, there is enough salt in the water to provide a softening effect, just as homeowners often add salt to the water in their homes via water softeners to produce soft, soothing water. Traditional packaged chlorine must be added to pool water frequently because it constantly degrades under sunlight and with use of the pool.
This means that the pool owner has the constant expense and aggravation of buying, transporting, and adding packaged chlorine to their pool water.
In addition, they frequently end up storing packaged chlorine in and around their home and garage, which might be a danger to family members. Unlike traditional packaged chlorine, the salt mixes with the water once and does not have to be constantly replaced. Each time the salt passes through the INTEX saltwater system's electrolytic cell, it is re-energized into natural chlorine, which is reconverted into the bacteria and algae destroying agents each time it passes through the electrolytic cell.
Common salt sodium chlorine is made up of two elements; sodium and chlorine. Salt water passes through the saltwater system's electrolytic cell to produce chlorine, which is then dissolved instantly in the water.
This continuous process destroys bacteria, algae, and oxidizes other organic materials in the pool. It is recommended to always turn the pump on prior to turning on the Saltwater System see Owners Manual unless the saltwater system is part of a combination pool and filter set, to ensure that air pockets are eliminated from the hoses, and that water is flowing through the unit.
In addition, the electrolytic cell should be examined and cleaned if necessary. The frequency of cleaning will depend on the local water conditions, pool usage conditions, and length of time the Saltwater System is operated each day. See Owners Manual. An automatic self-cleaning cycle: The Saltwater System automatically undergoes a self-cleaning cycle to maximize the operating length of the electrolytic cell.
Safety diagnostics: the Saltwater System will alert the operator to conditions that could result in poor operation. Since the operating cycle can be set for different operating hours each day, the system will work with all pool sizes under virtually any operating conditions.
You may wish to add other chemicals to your pool water, depending on the local characteristics of your water supply. It may be desirable to further soften your water, or add clarifiers or algaecides.
However, in many instances, additional chemicals are not needed. Also, concerning shocking this is also important in the salt pools to assist in oxidation of wastes. You should shock it every other week or more if it is being used often, heavy rain, canine pool party dog in the pool , etc.
