I have a 15×54 above ground steeled walled pool. I am using an Intex Saltwater System. 1. Are test strips for saltwater systems and regular chlorinated pools the same? 2. How do I increase my free Chlorine? all other levels are within normal range. Thanks for the help.

Answer:

1. Yes, test strips for regular chlorine pools also work for salt pools. 2. To increase chlorine you can add liquid or granular chlorine in a singal dose or you can add tablets in a floater that gradually dissolve and slowly release more chlorine into the water. The second method tends to be the more popular.
