Salt = Chlorine?
Salt = Chlorine?
Ok i know this is a stupid question but on the test kits does the chlorine level result reflect the ammount of salt in the pool?
i have a salt water pool with a thing that is supposed to turn the salt to chlorine
when i test it shows low levels of chlorine
but the pool water tastes very salty
i am also having ph problems in that the pool requires frequent acid top ups to maintain the ph
is that normal?
i know stupid questions
but once the pool was finished we had absolutely no hand over on maintainence as they guy was then trying to sell someone coming around each week to do the work

I think you are not running the system long enough. THis is a common problem. Pool builders seem to think split 4 hour run cycles are sufficent. They aren't. Try running the pool overnight for 8 hours in a row and then test the chlorine in the morning.
There are other things we can check, but let's start here first.
Let me know how you go.

here's a link to the website. you being in the pool biz may be able to get more info out of it on it's claims with salt Chlorine generators. There's also a section for "professionals" that you may be able to join to get even more info.
all I know is that they were recommended highly by the "pebble tec" company that did the interior of my pool as well as the manufacturer of my salt chlorine generator.
...
turns out I can't post a link to the website becuase the filtering does not like the combination of jacks and magic as one word. just google it as one word and then look for the product link for the "purple" stuff
