How do I increase salt in my saltwater pool?

Published in Pool Maintenance 1 min read

To increase salt in your saltwater pool, you need to add the salt directly to the pool water while the filter pump is running.

Here's a step-by-step guide:

  • Turn on your filter pump: This is crucial for proper salt distribution.
  • Add the salt directly to the pool water: Do not dump the salt in one spot. Spread it around the pool as much as possible.
  • Use a brush: Use a pool brush to help the salt dissolve and prevent it from accumulating on the bottom.
  • Run your pump for 24 hours: This will ensure the salt is evenly distributed throughout the pool water.
