sodium chloride is salt, it may be causing a reaction with other chemicals in the pool such as hydrogen peroxide and sodium hypochlorite (Bleach)
Yes if you are using a chlorinator. salt is sodium chloride and the chlorinator converts it to sodium hypo-chloride which is chlorine.
Chloride is the ion, Cl-. There is chloride in sodium chloride, which is salt. In addition, bleach contains chlorine. The water in a pool also has chlorine.
No, because it's not the chloride part that's responsible for the hardness, it's the calcium. Sodium chloride is actually used in water softeners, so it's not a great choice if you're looking to increase the hardness. You could use calcium hydroxide, though this will also make the pool more alkaline which may not be ideal.
Magnesium chloride and sodium chloride these are the salts used in a new saltwater pool chlorinating system but even without the chlorinator its good for you and makes the pool feel like a mineral bath. the water is also good for the garden.
It should not do any harm as long as you don't have a saltwater pool and if it is a salt-water pool that you are using a non-toxic salt like magnesium and potassium chloride rather then the usual Sodium chloride.
Pool salt is mostly sodium chloride (common salt) and a few impurity's. Unless you are running a magnesium chloride system which consist of magnesium chloride and potassium chloride. Its Depends on which kind of pool salt you have most pool salt is from the ocean. Thank You for asking the question.
sodium chloride
There is a system available now that uses a mixture of Magnesium chloride and potassium chloride instead of the old Potassium chloride we have been using it in our pool for about 5 months and the results are great Ive never seen the water as good without any problems whatsoever. I am not sure however if the electrodes need to be different in the chlorine generator to do what you are thinking of. The system I am talking about is called Magnablu. It is originally German but was handled handled by Poolrite in Australia. Poolrite Autralia however has gone to the wall and I don't know who took this part of their business over. Dragonfly.biz had dealings with them and may perhaps be able to help.
If you are converting a normal fresh water pool to a salt water pool you need not loose any water at all. If you are simply changing the the chlorinator designed for common salt ( Sodium Chloride) the you are unlikely to have to change any thing. Just check that the concentration is within the manufacturers parameters. On the other hand if you are converting from sodium chloride to Magnesium and Potassium Chloride I lost about 2/3 of my water. It would be best to check this with the manufacturer or installer
Salt can be turned into chlorine through a process called electrolysis. In a saltwater pool, a salt chlorine generator uses electricity to break down salt molecules into sodium and chloride. The chloride then combines with water to produce chlorine, which sanitizes the pool water.
Common household products that contain chloride include table salt (sodium chloride), bleach (sodium hypochlorite), and some cleaners and disinfectants. Additionally, certain water softeners and swimming pool chemicals may also contain chloride compounds.
When calcium hypochlorite and sodium bicarbonate react, they produce calcium carbonate, sodium chloride, and water. This reaction is commonly used in swimming pool chlorination systems to release chlorine gas for disinfection purposes.
