Can I add salt to a freshwater pool just for a softer water feel?

Yes, you can add pool salt to a freshwater pool at 1,500 to 2,500 ppm for silkier water without needing a salt chlorine generator. It reduces harshness on skin and eyes. However, salt is corrosive to metal fixtures, heaters, and some liners, so check your equipment first. You’ll also need to drain and refill more often due to increased dissolved solids.
