Q: Do you run a pool pump when adding salt?

• <div><p>Yes, you should keep your pool pump running when adding salt, and leave it running for 24 to 48 hours. This will help circulate the salt to ensure even distribution. You will want to turn off your pool&rsquo;s salt chlorine generator before adding salt and leave it off until it fully dissolves. Check your manufacturer&rsquo;s instructions for steps specific to your <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/salt-water-pool-maintenance-checklist.htm">saltwater pool maintenance</a>.</p></div>

Q: Does a pool need chlorine every day?

• <div><p>It depends. Your pool might need chlorine every day if the water is exposed to direct sunlight and you use your pool frequently. UV light and constant use will deplete chlorine levels more rapidly. Test your water regularly to see where your levels sit and adjust accordingly. Generally speaking, most homeowners need to add chlorine following a water chemical test about one to three times per week.</p></div>

Q: How long does it take for pool concrete to set?

• <div><p>Pool concrete or gunite can take several weeks to cure, or an average of 30 days, before workers can resume construction. Additional work and finishes push the time to build a pool out of concrete to between three and six months. There are many <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/pool-types-cost-decks-and-other-options.htm">types of pools</a> that take far less time, so keep these in mind if you're on a short timeline. </p></div>

Q: What happens if you don’t bond a pool?

• <div><p>If you don&rsquo;t bond a pool, you risk electric shock for those walking around or swimming. Bonding creates safe pathways between the electricity needed to run the pool and metallic parts also necessary for the proper function of the pool. Once the pool is bonded, it&rsquo;s ready for grounding, the second step in creating an electrically safe pool.</p></div>
