WHAT IS POOL SALT?
Pool salt is a natural salt product used to provide cleanliness and hygiene in pool water. It is an alternative to chemical pool cleaning products. In fact, it is almost identical to table salt but much larger in grain size. Pool salt dissolves in water after being added to the pool, releasing sodium and chloride ions. As a result of this chemical reaction, chloride ions turn into a more acidic structure, disinfecting the water naturally by killing bacteria and microbes that may be present in the pool water. Additionally, compared to chemical chlorine, the smell of sodium chloride is much milder.
