Salt pools use a salt chlorine generator, which is commonly referred to as a salt system, to convert salt into chlorine. The chlorine produced in the salt cell is used to sanitize your pool water. Understanding your salt pool\u2019s unique method of chlorination will help you to establish a maintenance routine to keep your saltwater pool swim-ready all season long.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"glide-spacer space-m\"> <\/div>\n<!-- \/.stroke-headline -->\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-glide-section-block s-section\"><div class=\"wrapper\">\n<div id=\"steps-block_e8db29c8ee2885b3aa49b413ed70f12d\" class=\"aligncenter  glide-block mic-boxes glide-block-steps \">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"mic-box step-box\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"step-num-area\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"step-num\"><span>1<\/span><\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<div class=\"about-step\">\n\t\t\t<h4>Test water balance weekly<\/h4> \t\t\t\t<p><p>Experts recommend testing your pool water at least once per week, however during peak season, it\u2019s not uncommon to test your water 2-3 times per week. Reason being is your pool chemistry can change quickly due to high temperatures, rain, windstorms or even high swimmer volume.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/p>\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<div class=\"clear\"><\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<!-- \/.mic-box -->\n\t\t\t<div class=\"mic-box step-box\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"step-num-area\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"step-num\"><span>2<\/span><\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<div class=\"about-step\">\n\t\t\t<h4>Test your salt level monthly<\/h4> \t\t\t\t<p><p>Typically, salt pools operate between 3,000 to 4,000 ppm of salt.
