Usually that means you put salt in the water: maybe 400 to 500 pounds for an average size pool in ground pool and you will then use a salt chlorinator in the water piping to zap a molecule off the salt to turn it into chlorine. It is self regulating so that you don't have burning eyes or an excessive chlorine smell in the water. Salt is much less expensive than buy chlorine in bottles and also safer as you won't damage your car if it spills. For that amount of salt you won't taste it in the water either. Most of the major pool manufacturers make salt chlorinators like; Hayward, Zodiac, Pentair etc. There are also pools that are full of salt like the ocean but that is not common. You can learn more about the specifications of salt chlorinators at millsco.com too. Marcus
