A Salty Pool without the fancy Salt Water Pump.?
I bought a salt water filter system for my inflatable pool(14′ X 40″ deep) and filled it up with 80 pounds of salt as the directions call for. Unfortunately Intex did not design the pump correctly and it leaks.There is supposed to be some copper ion exchange with the water as it goes through the system. I returned the salt water system. Since salt is a natural bacterial fighter by itself, can I just add salt once in a while and keep the water salty and use the filter pump that came with the pool? You never see lakewater(which is a little salty) with algae in it unless it is stagnant. With a filter pump this would not happen as the water is being filtered frequently.
I don’t think you or others really understand a salt water chlorination unit.
The salt is added to the pool water & through water circulation of the pool water & the ION unit water passes past these two electrodes which in turn give off a chlorine gas which becomes the chlorine requirements for the pool On the ioniser is a dial & that is set to a required setting to do with the volume of certain sized swimming pools. Even though one has this unit connected to their pool, they still have to add chlorine to their pool of the chlorine level isn’t enough. This can be done in various methods, via a floating skimmer or have pellets put in hair & lint pot or scattered over the pool surface, once dissolved in a bucket of warm water.
Just by leaving the salt in the water as you suggest won’t really do much other than help keep the water salty! This is my opinion & I’ll not get into a wage or wars over who is right & who is wrong!
Your trying to get others on your side, because you made the wrong choice & purchased a salty pool chlorinator & pump & your dis- satisfied with your choice
I am not going to agree or disagree with your statement other that to say your putting your families health at risk being a skin flint!
So you think your doing the right thing, by putting your families health at risk for the sake of a few lousy dollars.
Do it properly & have a professional to come & connect it all up for youin a proper manner!!
Surely your families health means a lot more to you than risking a few lousy bucks on the proper unit!
Cheers!!
