Draining a pool with a garden hose can take between eight and 14 hours depending on the depth of your pool and whether you use a sump pump. Be sure to stay close to the pool during this time to ensure the structure of your pool remains unharmed and that the water drains properly.

Due to their potentially hazardous nature, pools increase home insurance premiums. Pools increase a home's liability risk, and the added replacement costs of the pool are bundled into the cost of rebuilding a home when considering insurance coverage limits. It is best to speak with your home insurance representative before building a pool to discuss what increases you’ll be facing to your premiums.

You do not have to drain your pool before converting it to salt water. The times when you should consider doing so are when you have been using an antibacterial agent. These sanitation products do not mix well with the saltwater system, so you will need to start fresh. You can either drain the pool or get rid of the antibacterial agent with chlorine. Check with a pool technician if you are unsure if this applies to you.

The generator in your saltwater pool conversion kit transforms sodium chloride—the same salt as table salt—into chlorine. A process called electrolysis sends electricity through the water to interact with the chlorine ion. This ultimately creates the chlorine that keeps your pool safe and clean. The cell in your saltwater chlorine generator is the part that converts the salt into chlorine.
