Not unless the salinity level was overly high to begin with. Normal salt range for most systems is from 2,600 ppm to 3,600 ppm, lower than the salt level in your tears. I use my salt water waste on my grass, and it is thriving!!

If your equipment is malfunctioning, and your salt level is 'overly high', then it could possibly kill your grass. The Romans 'salted' the fields of their conquered enemies to prevent them from being able to use the fields again, an effective trick.

Does salt water in the pool kill your grass if you back wash and will the grass die around the pool by splashing water?

Yes, an above ground pool sitting on the grass will eventually kill the grass. Most above ground pool manufacturers recommend that you remove the grass before filling the pool because the grass can also harm the liner over a long time. The actual chlorine in the pool water is unlikely to damage the grass on its own. More likely is that the water itself may damage depending on how much water gets splashed out; the exact type of grass; and how well the ground drains.

Yes as a mater of fact that is what salt water pool normally is. With a salt water pool there is a electronic salt water chlorinator installed that uses the salt in the water to create chlorine.

salt water does provide a lower degree of freezing temperature but the normal amount in a salt water pool is so low that the answer is "not enough to make a difference". Protect your pool and equipment from freezing as you would if it weren't a salt water pool
