Hassle-Free Pool Cleaning & Pool Care

Saltwater pools use electrolysis to convert the chloride ion in salt (NaCl) to chlorine.  If your salt cell isn't producing enough chlorine, you may need to add a bit to help.  This is especially true in summer. 

We prefer to use a non-chlorine shock to minimize changes through the salt system.  We like the oxidizers most - They also seem to make the water more clear.

The ideal salt level within a saltwater pool is 3200 ppm.  Test salinity monthly

The ideal chlorine level is 3 ppm. Test chlorine level weekly.

The ideal pH is 7.4.  Test pH weekly.  Saltwater systems tend to raise the pH. Lower pH with muriatic acid.

The ideal alkalinity is 100-150 ppm.  Test alkalinity weekly.
