I have a salt water pool and need to empty it to refinish the bottom.
How would be the best way to empty the pool without causing any
environmental problems either for grass or for ponds that are fed by
storm drains.


Remove all the salt from the generator, wait 'til the chlorine level
goes down to zero, and then you may drain. The dissolved solids still
may damage grass or trees, but at least you're not putting chlorine
into any waterways. Tom


Do you have any idea whatsoever how a chlorine generator works? How pray
tell can you remove salt from the water?


You would need a desalination plant, which I don't that any one individual
could afford.
