How do I lower the salt level in a pool?

To lower the salt level in a pool, you will need to dilute the saltwater with fresh water. The amount of fresh water you need to add will depend on the current salt level and the desired salt level.

Here are the steps on how to lower the salt level in a pool:

  1. Test the current salt level. You will need a salt test kit to measure the current salt level in your pool.
  2. Calculate the amount of fresh water to add. Once you know the current salt level and the desired salt level, you can use a pool calculator to determine how much fresh water to add.
  3. Add the fresh water. Slowly add the calculated amount of fresh water to your pool while the pump is running.
  4. Retest the salt level. Once you have added the fresh water, retest the salt level to ensure that it is at the desired level.

Tips:

  • Add the fresh water slowly to avoid splashing or overflowing the pool.
  • If you have a saltwater generator, you may need to adjust the settings to maintain the desired salt level.
