how much salt when replacing
585079
When you buy the kit, you get a bag of salt and you only use a third of it. The salts do not get replaced often at all, not looking at box now, but only replace like about once every 6 months to year I remember reading from someone or somewhere.

If you just run the pump believe you can, look at the owners manual -should be on line. If you run the whole system - a low salt warning will appear on the control panel,

Room temp is fine. My only suggestion would be to change the container, its made of heavy paper product and if it gets wet that could affect the salt.

Yea I have used regular (kosher) salt plenty of times. I did notice I had to use a decent amount more though. I guess because it is more fine than ice cream salt. I use ice cream salt now though so I am not using up my regular salt and ice cream salt is really cheap.

Any salt should work, but sea salt is best. The amount depends on your individual chemistry. Add very slowly in small amounts- swishing your feet around a bit - until the amps get close to 20. Its harder to get it back down than to inch the levels up.

Chemicals used in the saltwater version are just pool salt. It comes in 40 pound bags. You also will need a certain fine grain sand (this goes inside your filter).

Depends on the volume of water in your pool. Read the instructions and work with a local pool company that sells salt.

While many people use distilled water, it is highly recommended to use a calibration fluid that is set at 35.0 PSU. The reason for this is, there is a high margin of error when calibrating accuracy to a figure that is far from target. If you do not have calibration solution, you can make your own. When trying to make a calibration solution of 35.0psu, it means that the sodium chloride concentration is 3.65 (weight %). What that means is, for every 3.65 grams of sodium chloride (morton's iodized salt) there needs to be 96.35 grams of purified fresh water (distilled is ideal). To increase accuracy of the solution, my recommendation is to mix it in a greater multiple of the above amounts, i.e. 79.3g of salt mixed with 2104g of distilled water. That solution should be just about 35.0 PSU, or target saltwater salinity.

Sand use 50 LBS as far as salt it depends on the gallon size of your pool...it needs to be at 3000 ppm.Hope that helps

No, all I added was approximately 85 lbs. of salt. You will of course need the chlorine generator. You won't be disappointed with the set up, this pool is fantastic. I have not had any maintenance issues with any component with the pool set and generator. I also have a 15' x 48" easy set, ENJOY!!!

I have a freshwater tank so 'I' can't say for sure about saltwater .. My daughter has a saltwater tank and said that removing water is the only way to 'lose' salt percentages ..

You can buy with out Salt... but the Salt content is 35% or 860 mg from a jar. From a cube it is 43% or 1034 mg.

According to the manual, you would just need 135 LB of salt. It comes with all the hoses you need. Oh, and Type A filters. Your pool seems to be the largest pool size supported on this pump. We're on our second season with a small 12'x30" pool and it has been great; we use just over 40 LB of salt for this size.

http://www.straightdope.com/columns/read/1364/can-salt-substitute-kill-youYes, this container is enough to kill 4 healthy adults. Consult a Dr before using this, and don't use it if "I eat too much salt" is causing you health problems.

I bought the sand filter and saltwater system together. You have to purchase your sand and salt seperately from a pool supply store. It comes with books for each component and a cover for the pool. Watch the DVD to get the general idea and search the books for specific answers. My pool was 18x52, but your filter will still need about 55lbs of sand since it should be about half full. The 48 pool will require about 200 lbs of salt. Buy some extra because you need to add more about once a week.
