Anyone using salt w/o SWG in their chlorine pool?

Could this be done with a small 15' Dolphino pool also?

I'm just trying to get the pool as inviting as possible for the kids and wife. I already replaced the pump filter (junk) with a used Hayward pump and sand filter and besides a small bromine mistake the pool is crystal clear.

Just wondering if the same advantages would apply to a AG 6000 gallon pool and if anyone had an approx ammount needed. Perhaps I'll just go grab a bag and start with that and adjust as many have stated.

thx in advance.

I don't know any reason that it wouldn't be of some benefit to the feel of anyone's water. Maybe some chemist might come up with a wierd situation that you wouldn't want to add a bit of salt. Other than the slight risk of additional corrosion, I don't know of any negative issues. It sure isn't expensive.

Btw, if you're curious what the water tastes like at the ppms needed for a SWG, check out http://www.poolforum.com/pf2/showthr...ght=salt+taste.

Not sure how accurate it is, however.

does anybody have a problem with salt water that splashes out on the deck or coping evaporating and leaving a salt residue/stain on it ? Or perhaps a waterfall that would have the same problem ?

I haven't seen any on the deck. But we don't have kids (any more ) splashing.

I do see it on the solar cover. I leave it on the pool and hose it off a couple times a season.
