Adding Chlorine to Saltwater Pools: Risks & Alternatives

While it's not recommended, you can add liquid chlorine to a saltwater pool, but it should be used sparingly and only as a temporary solution.

Saltwater pools use a chlorine generator to convert salt into chlorine, so adding additional chlorine can disrupt the balance of the pool water and potentially damage the chlorine generator.

Therefore, it's generally better to use alternative methods to maintain proper chlorine levels in a saltwater pool, such as adjusting the salt level, cleaning the chlorine generator, or using a non-chlorine shock treatment.
