In a saltwater pool, salt doesn't need frequent addition, but it's important to monitor the salt level every 2-3 weeks as a best practice. Typically, salt is added only occasionally. After the initial start-up of your saltwater swimming pool, checking the salt level every 2-3 weeks is crucial, as pool salt is primarily lost through splashing, evaporation, or backwashing. If the salt level falls below the recommended range of 3,000–3,500 ppm, it's essential to add more salt to ensure proper chlorine production. Regular monitoring helps maintain water quality and ensures an optimal swimming experience.

Saltwater pools are easy to maintain, but their corrosive nature requires pools designed specifically for saltwater use. Many above-ground models are not compatible, with most saltwater pools using resin components, which resist rust and corrosion. Models like the Saltwater 5000, Saltwater 8000, Saltwater LX, Saltwater Titan, Saltwater Aurora, and Intrepid are all warrantied for saltwater use. These pools are crafted with durable resin, a hard, heavy plastic material that withstands corrosion.
