Hi Mike In Tampa
I have not seen in Australia any product that claims that. There are some chemicals that may achieve this but I have no real world experience with this application.
Salt = Chlorine?

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

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
no, they're two different things and you need to measure both. you may have salt in the pool but no chlorine generation. and you may have the cells running at full throttle but producing little chlorine becasue of low salt.
the increase in ph is normal because of the process involved in chlorine production (not so much the production of sodium hydroxide as a side effect but the outgassing during the production of chlorine within the cell). if you don't correct it it will naturally settle in at about 7.8.
if it's a new (inground) pool that's still curing then the ph rise is normal as the new surface releases calcium hydroxide as it cures.
