salt and pool chemistry

[purplegirl]

Thanks waterbear. I have to vacuum the pool a bunch because I have settled oxidized iron and I am hoping I will have more to vacuum in the morning. (My pool is green from biologically sourced iron as Pool Doc tells me. I am adding the Liquid Magnet -chelating/sequestering agent in hopes that it will turn the dark green water to light green water like it did 3 weeks ago before I drained)

I am afraid of vacuuming up salt before it has had a chance to dissolve. The manual says to deposit salt and then wait 24 hours for it to dissolve and then turn on the generator. Is that what you would do? How long will it take to dissolve before I can vacuum?

In your case I would deal with the metals first then add the salt for precisely the reason you stated. You would vacuum out salt otherwise.
