New pool -- tastes very salty! What to do?

Michelle,

Welcome to the forum.

First of all salt does not float around in the pool. Not in the concentration you mention.

Get a sample to the pool store, and also get a good test kit as well. Post the numbers and we will help you. Meanwhile enjoy your new pool.

Get a good heater, throw in a few chickens, some onions and celery and carrots and make soup!

Actually, something else is going on. Salty water isn't a problem generally, but it can corrode fittings faster.
