How much salt do I initially add to change over to salt water pool?
That depends on the Chlorinator you intend to use and the size of the pool it would be wise to seek advise from the manufacturer of the chlorinator or the outlet from which you bought it. Saltwater pools use dissolved salt (3000-6000 ppm
How much salt needed for new pool?
The store where you bought the salt system can probably tell you how much. It all depends on how big, and thus how much water is in your pool. If you tell them the size and depth of the pool they should be able to tell you about how much salt you'll need to add.
Does your salt chlorinator regulate salt ppm?
No
Why does the Pool shop advises that l have too much salt in the pool and may have to empty it and start again what do you suggest?
Salt water pools should be maintained between 3000 and 4000 ppm. More salt than this will cause excessive scaling around the tiles and salt cell. Less salt will not produce enough chlorine gas to sanitize the pool.
How much salt for a 30 foot pool?
the amount of salt required depends on how much water is in the pool You will need enough salt to reach a concentration of 4000 ppm (parts per million) to start. Have the water tested for salt content at your pool shop (usualy free), then add then add enough to reach 4000 ppm.
What is the Ppm of salt in ocean water?
>30ppm in 100g =? mcg in 1g
how many pounds of salt do you add to a 12000 gallon swimming pool?
salt is based on PPM or parts per million and a salt system operates around 3000 PPM on most systems. If you have no salt in your pool the amount of salt to add would be around 200 pounds but if you have some salt in the system then you need to find the ppm already in the pool and adjust as needed. Do not forget to add cyneric acid or you will lose what sanitizer is produced on the hot days.
What should be the salt level be on a salt system pool?
The ideal salt level is between 2700-3400 ppm (parts per million) with 3200 ppm being optimal. Before adding salt to your pool, test the water to check your salt level.
Is saltwater pools sore on your eyes?
True salt water pools have the same parts per million (ppm) as sea water which is roughly 35,000 ppm. We have a salt taste threshold of around 3,500 ppm and our eyes have about 7,000ppm. Most chlorine generators require a salt content of 3,000-5,000 ppm in the pool. You will feel the salt in a true salt water pool, most people don't notice the salt in a pool with a chlorine generator.
How do you convert your in ground pool from chlorinated to saltwater?
Make sure your water is balanced and add salt (sodium chloride). You need to purchase a saltwater chlorine generator and you'll need to calculate the amount of salt you need. You would need to bring your pool salt content up to 3,000 ppm. Concentration is the amount (by weight) of salt in water and can be expressed in parts per million (ppm). Here are the classes of water: * Fresh water - less than 1,000 ppm * Slightly saline water - From 1,000 ppm to 3,000 ppm * Moderately saline water - From 3,000 ppm to 10,000 ppm * Highly saline water - From 10,000 ppm to 35,000 ppm Ocean water has a salinity that is approximately 35,000 ppm. http://www.windows.ucar.edu/tour/link=/earth/Water/dissolved_salts.html&edu=high There is now a system with a healthier salt available Magnesium and Potassium Chloride. it is more expensive but in my opinion it is also much better and halthier than Sodium chloride.

How many ppm is normal saline compared to sea water?
Normal saline has approximately 9,000 ppm (parts per million) of dissolved salt, while sea water typically has around 35,000 ppm of dissolved salt. Sea water is therefore more concentrated in salt compared to normal saline.
Is 10000 ppm equals to 10 percent?
yes. NO ! 1%
