How often will I need to add salt?

Questions about AutoPilot salt chlorine generator.
After the initial dosage of salt, you will only need to add salt when necessary. The most common ways salt is lost is through leaks, rainwater overflow, filter backwashing, and bather splashout/carryout. Normal water evaporation does not lose salt, it increases the concentration. The make up water added to bring the water level back to normal will then reduce the salt concentration back to 3000 ppm.

Yes. The amount required depends on climatic conditions, frequency of backwashing, splash-out, pool leaks and of course, pool volume. a rough guide, you can expect to add between 25 - 50% of the initial amount of salt added at start-up, annually.For more information see SALT REQUIREMENTS AND CALCULATIONS

Salt is lost only through splash out and backwashing. It is not lost through the chlorination process or evaporation. So, you'll only have to add a small amount (probably a bag or two) each year.

Where do I add the salt?

Questions about AutoPilot salt chlorine generator.
What is most important when adding salt is to brush it around until it is dissolved. This is accelerated by turning your pump on, opening the bottom drain and adding the salt over the drain, rather than walking around the perimeter while adding the salt. It is recommended that you continue to run the pump for 24 hrs so the salt can spread evenly throughout the pool. With Granular salt, 60-70% will have dissolved before hitting bottom.

How much salt do I add?

Questions about AutoPilot salt chlorine generator.
Enough for 3000 ppm (parts per million) as a starting point. So depending on the initial salt level of your water, you only add the amount needed to establish 3000 ppm. For new pools or freshly filled pools, the salt level will most likely be zero. In this case, 50lbs of salt per 2,000 gallons of water will establish 3000 ppm. For existing pools, the previous usage of chlorine bleach or tablets will have already introduced a level of salt into the water.

Do we need salt in our diet, so many say we do not?

Frequently Asked Questions
Mary and I discuss the subject of salt in our book Nourishing Traditions. Salt is essential to life, that is why we have salt taste buds. Without salt, we die. We need salt for protein digestion, carbohydrate digestion, adrenal function, cellular metabolism and brain development. Unrefined salt provides us with many trace minerals. I think both products are fine; the ocean near Brittany is quite pure. But the Himalayan salt is also wonderful.

I need a softener, but I don???t want to add a lot of salt to my water. How much salt will it add?

Absolute Water Solutions, LC
In most cases the added salt from drinking softened water is a small fraction of the salt that is consumed in the foods we eat. The amount of salt added to soften water is directly proportional to the level of hardness in the untreated water. Water softeners work on the ion exchange principal. What goes into a softener as hardness goes out as sodium. If you are on a sodium-restricted diet, all possible sources of sodium should be evaluated in relation to the limit set by your physician.

What happens if I add too much salt?

Questions about AutoPilot salt chlorine generator.
Oversalting will not harm your Pool Pilot system, but will lead to a salty tasting water. For some, this is not undesirable as it will more closely match our bodies natural salinity level, making it more comfortable to swim in. If it is too excessive (over 6000 ppm), you can sustain corrosion damage to metallic equipment such as stainless steel handrails, ladders and filters, light rings, or copper heat exchangers.

Pure Water Systems - Water Purification and Filtration Syste...
Automatic water softeners use salt to “recharge” their ability to soften your water. The main vessel is flushed with salt water, also called “brine”, which removes all the calcium and magnesium that the unit has removed from your water supply. The brine and the hardness minerals are then rinsed out of the unit into a drain. The salt itself is not directly “injected” into the water supply.

Do I need to add fresh water to the mooring station or drain the salt water out?

Boat Bunkers
No. The water in the In-Water Mooring Station is depleted of oxygen, which is why there is no bottom fouling. For the same reason, you don't need to pump any water out or replace the isolated water with fresh water. However, should you decide to add fresh water, you can do so to reduce water salinity and decrease the changes of corrosion.

Why do water softeners have to add salt to the water?

Doodlebug Pump -- FAQ
The softener works by passing the hard water through resin beads, which attract the hard mineral ions to them. This process is called "ion exchange" It takes place with the hard mineral ions (typically calcium and/or magnesium) trading places with the soft sodium/potassium ions. After a period of use the sodium ions are depleted being replaced by calcium and magnesium. The resin then needs to be regenerated with the sodium ions so the resin will again be able to exchange the hard for the soft.
