Salt Water Pool
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. |

It seems that given the fact that you can't even taste the salt in the water, that the level is very low and probably wouldn't be a problem; but I don't really know. One of the two hosts on the back yard bay radio show is a big salt water pool proponent, bet he (they) would know http://www.backyardbay.com/radio.htm |

I have no idea about the salt water issue but if this is an inground pool make sure you talk to a pool professional before you drain it. Many people have had done significant damage to their pool by draining it. Water weighs about 8 pounds per gallon and when you remove that weight bad things can happen. |

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 |

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. -- Wayne Boatwright ------------------------------------------- Friday, 06(VI)/20(XX)/08(MMVIII) ------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------- Don't start comparing yourself to me.

How pray tell can you remove salt from the water? So then, can these generators be bypassed? If possible, that should cause the chlorine level to drop. If not, what were they thinking when it was installed? Lessee, about one tablespoon NaCl per gallon of water, so not too salty. Tom |
