Intex Pool Salt Calculator – Easy Salt Level Calculation

This tool helps you calculate the right amount of salt needed for your Intex pool based on its volume.

Intex Pool Salt Calculator

This calculator helps you determine the amount of salt needed to reach the desired salt level in your Intex pool based on the volume of water, current salt level, desired salt level, and purity of the salt used.

How to Use the Calculator:

  1. Enter the volume of your pool in gallons.
  2. Enter the current salt level in parts per million (ppm). If you don’t know this, you can use a pool test kit to measure it.
  3. Enter the desired salt level in ppm. Typically, a saltwater pool requires between 2700-3400 ppm, with 3200 ppm being ideal.
  4. Enter the purity of your salt. The default value is set to 100%. Adjust this if your salt has different purity.
  5. Click the “Calculate” button to determine the amount of salt needed.

Calculation Method:

The calculator uses the following formula to determine the amount of salt needed:

Salt Required (lbs) = ((Desired Salt Level – Current Salt Level) * Pool Volume (gallons) * 0.00000834) / Salt Purity

Where:

  • Desired Salt Level and Current Salt Level are in parts per million (ppm).
  • Pool Volume is in gallons.
  • Salt Purity is a percentage (e.g., 100 for pure salt).

Limitations:

  • This calculator assumes consistent water volume and does not account for water loss due to evaporation, backwashing, or splash-out. Always retest the salt level after making adjustments.
  • The calculator does not account for the salinity contributions of other chemicals in the pool.
  • Ensure accurate measurements for pool volume and current salt levels for the best results.
