How much salt does a 5000 gal pool take?

The amount of salt needed for a 5,000-gallon pool typically depends on the desired salinity level for a saltwater chlorination system, which is usually around 3,000 to 4,000 parts per million (ppm). To achieve this, you would generally need about 1,500 to 2,000 pounds of salt. However, it's important to check the specific requirements of your saltwater system, as different systems may have varying recommendations. Always follow the manufacturer's guidelines for the best results.
