Getting your Saltwater pool ready for Spring

For the last several years, saltwater pools have become increasingly popular.  They have pretty much become the norm in the North Louisiana area.

Through the cold winter months, saltwater systems produce chlorine at a significantly reduced level.  Because of this, it is always necessary to monitor the chlorine level of the pool, and add as needed.  As the water begins to heat back up, the saltwater generator will again start to produce chlorine.  After a few warm days, I always get calls from customers who complain of their pool getting a green tint or a cloudy look.

Internet searches have convinced a lot of pool owners that "add a bag of salt" is the cure-all.  This is not at all the case.  You will still need to keep your PH, Total Alkalinity, Calcium, and Stabilizer within acceptable limits.

As the thermometer creeps up, its a good idea to bring a water sample into your local pool store. We offer FREE water testing, and can give you a printout of exactly what you need in your water to get it perfect.
