The Benefits of Morton® Pool Salt
Morton® Pool Salt is a high purity and fast dissolving salt designed for use in swimming pools that are equipped with Salt Chlorine Generator or automatic sanitizer systems. It contains no additives (YPS). This product helps maintain a clean, safe pool environment, reduce maintenance and eliminate chemical odors. This product can be found at all major retailers.
How much Morton® Pool Salt should I use?
Most Salt Chlorine Generator units recommend a salt level of 3,200ppm NaCl, but some units operate at higher levels. Considerable amounts of salt are added to the pool prior to start-up (e.g. 530 lbs for a 20,000 gallon pool) and free chlorine is produced. After oxidation of bacteria and other reductants, the chlorine reverts back to chloride ions to maintain the salt concentration in the pool. Top-off salt needs to be added when fresh water is added to the pool due to water losses from splash out, pump outs or filter backwashing. In northern climates, pools are usually drained and "winterized" at the end of the swimming season and new salt is necessary when the pool is re-filled the following spring.
