Handy
I would recommend getting a salt level before you start. You can buy salt test kits from Ben but I just took my water to the pool store and had it tested. After you get the salt level decide where you want the level to be. I wanted 2000 ppm. I needed 200 lbs to get me to around 1700 – 1800 according to bleachcalc. A few days after adding the salt I had the water retested at another pool store and had a 2200ppm witch is no big deal for me.
Quick summary
1. Get salt tested.
2. Use bleachcalk for needed amount of salt.
3. Get the amount of pure salt recommended by bleachcalc.
4. Pour salt bag in pool 1 bag at a time checking your tolerance, preference, or calculated goal ppm is reached
5. Enjoy salty pool.
6. Get salt tested a few days after pool is salted.
7. Tell us about your experience.
