Converting Your Pool To Salt Water 

+ Great video guys!!! Short, informative & straight to the point. Awesome!!!

Thx for making this easy to understand.

Awesome video guys. Easy to understand.

Great video! Thank you so much!

Thank you for explaining the choice so clearly. It's interesting about the system generating its own chlorine, and it looks as if the switch is less costly than I expected.

This was a very informative video, and easy to follow. Thanks guys! 😎

This is great guys thank you for the advice 😊

Awesome video. So well done. Thank you!

Great information

Inyo Pools is awesome so helpful and their prices are good.

Great video, thank you!

Thank you for breaking this down.

I thought it would be a lot tougher than that. Wonderful!!😀

Thanks guys!

Thanks

Thanks for the informative video.

Can salt system be used on aluminum pool?

I don't see any link for "installation step by step instructions" in the description below. Any chance you can add that or answer this comment with the link?

The unit can it be mounted either way vertically or horizontal?

Is this an attachment that works with the current pool filter/pump (something you add on to your system) or does the current pool filter need to be replaced by this? (throw out my old system/pump?)

When I initially dump the salt in my pool should I keep my pump running? I'm thinking my filter won't enjoy 500lbs of salt running through it right?

You'd think the manufacturer already built in some tolerance in their system. If a system rated for 20K cannot handle a 20K pool then something isn't right.

Do I have empty the current water out before I switch to salt? I currently have a sand pump filtration system. Also what is the best filtration system for the buck. Thank you.

Can i convert my inflatable jacuzzi to salt or is there one popularly sold?

HI HOW TO INCREASE CL IN SALT WATER CURRENT READING PH 78 & CL 0.6

Wow, just the information no one else provides -- how to get the chlorine production system going by setting it to 50% and then testing... thank you

What kind of anode is that with the bonding strap. I would like one that i can keep in my strainer basket, but has a bonding strap that goes to the metal frame so that i functions properly.

Where’s the DIY installation video they reference? Don’t see it in the description

Would like to go to salt but worried about the steel frame of the above ground pool. Was thinking about using pvc but don't think it would be strong enough. ?

So since a salt water generator is always continually creating chlorine, does the amount of stabilizer go down as compared to a traditional chlorine pool. I have a 40k gallon pool in direct sunlight. I had an extremely hard time keeping chlorine in the water, and I was constantly adding stabilizer.

Is a sand filter still necessary?

Thanks how often do you need to add the salt?

Rob really looks and sounds like Adam Neely here. They could be brothers!

Great video guys but, please don't add pricing.

YOU GUYS GOT ME PUMPED THE FUCK UP!!!! YEAAAA!!!!!!!

Can you float on the salty pool?

1-3 PPM Chlorine and 70-80 PPM CYA will have algae growing in no time. Don’t you need high chlorine levels in a salt water pool? It should be around 9-10 PPM chlorine for the water to stay clean and sanitary at that level of CYA.

how to shift if chlorine now ? CL is ok so throw in 10 bags of salt to dissolved first; then turn on ?

Loaded with dodads! Everyone goes runnin when they see a dodad in the pool! ;)

SODIUM CHLORIDE - CHLORINE... The world is full of first class DA's

We had a saltwater pool. Everything rusted out.

Chlorine at HomeDepot today..... 18 bucks for 2 gallons. The price has doubled. Hence I'm here.

W.O.W.

Wow, I can't believe you guys are still using inline cell housings. Here in Australia (millions of pools here!) we seem to be eons ahead technologically-speaking. A standard salt chlorinator here has side-entry housings and often vertical unions, reverse polarity (so massively minimised calcification), inbuild pH-control modules for acid feeder upgrade (either sensor driven or algarhythmic), digital timers with backup batteries, auto pump shutdown incorporated into gas sensors, detailed information onscreen, and more. That design you are showing is fundamentally flawed. I doubt you guys would be buying Australian Chlorinators, but at least look up North at the Canadian company Astral (or Fluidra, or Hurlcon, they have a few names) at their units, the E-series is good for the money.

Running my pump for 24 hours costs me $13.00.

Afternoon gentlemen, I think you need to go and correct the Table that says zero calcium is in balance. It should be 150 at the bare minimum but 200 per industry-standard.

I have been cleaning pools for 27 years professionally. I will tell you what I tell my customers, you will never get back the money that you will spend putting in one of these systems. They are overpriced, and very misrepresented. This system will not sustain itself in hot climates. During the very hot summer months, you will still need to add liquid chlorine because of the increased humidity and bather load. Your ph levels will need to be adjusted on a weekly basis. You will be adding a lot of acid! On average of 1-2 quarts a week. I can tell you that it is almost impossible to maintain a chlorine level that is appropriate. Most of the time the chlor level is either to high or to low. Your salt cell will need to be cleaned and maintained as well. Even listening to expenses listed by these gentlemen in the video, even at the prices a couple of years ago, it is much cheaper to have a professional pool service maintain your pool and you won't have to worry about personally handling the liquid chlorine. Salt cells now average twice the cost that they just quoted. Not to mention, you will also need to drain and refill your pool water every two years. Some customers tell me that they like the way the pool water feels with the salt. You can add a bag or two of the salt to your current pool and have the same feeling. The comments about the skin and eye irritation is usually because the ph and alkalinity are out of balance. Those are adjusted with sodium bicarb to raise low levels, or acid to lower high levels. Both of which will irritate you.

A saltwater pool is a chlorine pool.But salt is a bad thing to introduce to your pool and equipment due to it's extreme corrosiveness.

Salt pools is no good. salt is a water softener having a salt pool you still need a chlorine sticks. Servicing pools over 20 years

Maybe this is a dumb questions, but how often do you need to add salt to the pool?
