Because we use a tiny amount of it in the pools. The water is a lot more than the chlorine so it could dilute it. To remove any dangers, test the pool water with a pH strip.

Can you use sodium chloride to lower pH level in pools?

No, sodium chloride (table salt) cannot be used to lower pH levels in pools. It is used in saltwater pools as a source of chloride ions for chlorine production but does not directly affect pH. To lower pH levels in pools, you would need to use an acid such as muriatic acid or sodium bisulfate.


Do you still need to add pH calcium alkaline chemicals to a salt water pool as the same as a chlorine pool?

Yes you still need to control the PH of your water weather it is a salt water pool or chlorine tablet pool. with salt water pools the chlorine produced by the chlorine generator is more dependant on a lower pH, around 7.2 to 7.6 if pH goes to high the chlorine gets locked up and cant work. you can find more detailed information on our web site at www.cristal-clear-pools.com. hope this helps you.
