There are two types of salt based pool chlorinators. More expensive and less common are those with a separate salt tank and these will normally use tablet salt for water softeners. The more common type is where salt is added to the swimming pool itself. In the UK we most commonly use PDV salt - that is Pure Dried Vacuum Salt or table salt. Granular salt for water softeners can be used. Tablet salt for water softeners should be avoided unless you have a white liner, because the tablets may bleach spots on the pool liner before dissolving. Julian Hobday of KindWater.

How much salt per gal of water for swimming pool?
If you have purchased Saline System equipment, you add regular 'salt' to the pool water. The salt (sodium chloride) is pure evaporated ocean salt - the same as you would use at the dinner table. Use 'rock' salt, but make sure it is sodium chloride and not potassium chloride (which is sold for some types of water softeners). Minimum salinty varies with the brand of saline system equipment, but is usually in the 3000-4000ppm range. 3000ppm is the same as 0.3%, by weight. Multply gallons x 8.33 to get weight of water in pounds, then x 0.003 to get pounds of salt.

What if you used water softener in your salt water pool?
Filling a plaster pool with water from a salt type softener will severely damage the plaster. Salt water softeners exchange salt for calcium and leave the water in a calcium deficiency. Seeking its dynamic balance the water will leech calcium from the plaster to satisfy its need for calcium making the plaster etched and rough. Adding salt to regular tap water is not the same as filling with soft water as the calcium is still present in the tap water. 180 ppm of calcium is considered the minimum and low calcium can be raised by adding calcium chloride.
