Can i put pool salt in my water softener.

Filling a plaster pool with water from a salt type softener will severely damage the plaster. You can check the salt level in your water softener manually or with a salt monitor. Salt water softeners exchange salt for calcium and leave the water in a calcium deficiency. So pool salt water softener salt and table salt all start with the same grade of salt.

If you are checking manually lift the cover of your tank and observe the salt level if it s lower than 6 inches or less than half full then add more salt. If you take the same salt that was used for pool salt and press it into pellets you have water softener salt. The salt dissolves too fast in my softener. There is no need to use water softener salt that has any additives in it if you are.

It is clean and pure and has no additives. Adding pool salt does not alter the ph level of the pool but the chemicals present in the softener salts change the ph of the pool. Avoid salt that says crystals as they may have dirt mixed in with the salt which will end up in your swimming pool. Water softeners need a coarser salt to function properly.

A salt monitor on the other hand is easier to use. The ph level can either raise or decrease.
