How to add salt (no drama)

  • Add in portions. Broadcast across the deep end with the pump running.
  • Brush any piles so it dissolves fully (don’t let it sit in one heap).
  • Run circulation 24 hours if possible, then retest before adding more.
  • Do not add salt through the skimmer unless your manufacturer allows it.

Note: If salt is too high, the fix is usually partial drain/refill. Salt doesn’t “evaporate out.”
