Is it ok if I poured product directly into above ground pool before it dissolved? If not, what do I need to do?

Product instructions mention risk of staining pool liner if cyanuric acid is left sitting on the bottom.

You should put the stabilizer in the skimmer. If you put it directly in the pool, which I have done, just vacuum it up and it will end up in the skimmer.

i would start with about 6 bags i think mine has too much salt . my pool has a 7800 gallon capacity. i spread the salt around and then used my pool brush to help the salt dissolve. started my pump and have had no problems..

I did not use this product in an area that had an excess of water near or covering the Mortite Caulk rope.. I would test it first if it were me.

Only use sodium chloride (NaCi) salt that is at least 99.8% pure. No iodine or yellow. Check with a local pool supply, grocery, or hardware store

I bought some small chlorine tabs from walmart and used a floater to put it in. I didnt use any chlorine or shock other than this, I was afraid it would ruin it.

No Shauna, The clorine will mess up and counter the good you do with the salt. You really need to empty and start fresh with your bags of salt. Your pool will stay cleaner longer and is so much more economical and easier on the skin than chlorine. Just protect the digital display on your salt pump with a basket or something as the sun will destroy the read-out and you won't be able to program it. This was my mistake. Patti

My grandson uses this in a above ground pool so this is not a problem. Sorry.

just use it as it is....don't mess around with it by diluting it with water or any other liquid! Use it sparingly....don't DROWN the floor with it and create a little "river". Just use it LIGHTLY.

No. Use "stabilizer". Be sure because you will have to partial drain your pool to dilute if you overshoot. In the Swim sells it. Amazon carries many of their products. Or go to intheswim.com.

I think you can just add the correct amount of salt to the water - check the PH and put in the Solaxx. At that poi t you will no longer need to add chlorine.

Be sure to only fill halfway. Pump the heck out of it in the beginning. It takes a few times to get the pressure to build. It will never be as fine as an aerosol

Yeah, thanks everyone. Really confusing reading online some people say nothing but salt, others say bleach, borax, stabilizer, shock. It's hard to know how to start it. Picking up my pool today and I have my three bags of salt and saltwater generator ready and waiting!

This product should not be diluted. Also, the product that I used was an oil based product, not a water based product.

I don't know about a specific acid, probably should visit your pool store for that, but, be careful with the tool as I followed the instructions and stained my pool surface. If I use it again I will not let the unit filled with acid sit any more than maybe 10-15 seconds at a time.

I think you would be fine using this product with salt water pools that use the salt for chlorine generation. The product is mostly baking soda with water clarifier added in. The product does 3 things: increases pH, increases Alkalinity and adds clarifier to your pool water. I use this product with my outdoor pool which holds about 28,000 gallon and have been very happy with it. I add about 1 tablet of this per 4 tablets of 3 inch chlorine tablets that I put into my chlorinator. If you monitor your pool chemistry you could also periodically just add a tablet(s) when your pH and Alkalinity levels get low in your pool. You could also buy Arm & Hammer baking soda for Alkalinity adjustment with a separate pool water clarifier product and use them as directed to achieve the same end result.

i usually use chlorine tabs in a floating dispenser. I don't know anything about salt water pools.

I have been using this product for years. Never had an issue. I keep my pool clean and the chemicals up, though. I also have a pool that has self cleaning jets that really make the water circulate well. Hope this helps.
