What is pool salinity?

Pool salinity refers to the concentration of dissolved salt in swimming pool water, typically measured in parts per million (ppm). It is a crucial parameter in saltwater pools, which use dissolved salt in conjunction with a salt chlorine generator to produce chlorine for sanitation. Maintaining the correct salinity level ensures that the chlorine generator functions efficiently, preventing issues like cloudy water, algae growth, or damage to pool equipment. While freshwater pools typically contain minimal salt (50-200 ppm), saltwater pools usually require salinity levels between 2,500 and 3,500 ppm for optimal performance. Accurate salinity management enhances swimmer comfort, prevents corrosion, and keeps the pool water clean and safe.
