We have had a lot of rain and had to let water out of our above ground pool do we need to add more salt to the pool

WOW... You have a huge above ground pool! Are you planning to use the Intex chlorinator to chlorinate your 22,000 gallon pool??? If you are, take a look at the max gallon rating and how long you may need to run... Here's a chart that should help you determine how much salt to add... After adding the salt, run the pump for 24 hrs without the chlorinator to properly dissolve the salt... Don't be surprised if you need to add above 500 lbs!!!
Good luck and hope this works for you...

Your pool should be between 5000 and 5500 gallons= between 125 to 135lbs of salt... They come in 40lb bags... Your salt PPM should also be 2500 and 3000.. Test strip reading at 6.2 to 6.6
Add your salt by spreading around the pool and run your pump only for 24 hrs to properly disolve the salt.. Then you can set and start your chlorinator... Good luck and enjoy your pool...

I would take your water to local pool store and get water test to get correct chemicals to add. They will test and see if more salt is needed

Shock the pool is easiest at this point. Or you can turn the system all the way up and wait. All the rain probably just dropped you residual way down and now it's trying to fight it's way up again.

ok, it is time to stop guessing on how much salt to add or take out.
You need to be as close to 3000ppm as you can
anything under 2700 and you will not generate enough chlorine. any thing above 3500 and you can go cloudy, have build up, or just plain taste terrible.

you need a test kit for salt that reads in #'s not color
the color salt kits have too much varience

If you are over, drain 20% of the pool and ad fresh water keep doing this till you get close to 3000ppm

If you are under then ad the amount of salt stated in the test directions.
Once at 3000 clean your cell again.
you should be good to go

Dont forget that once at 3000 you must keep an eye on the level because of rain and adding water for splash out

25 pounds per 1,000 gallons or 3 kg per 1,000 liters of water.

At initial startup add 290 pounds of salt. Add 75 pounds if low salt warning appears. Set the timer to run the pump for 10 hours per day.Get a downladable owner's manual here: http://pr-rp.pmra-arla.gc.ca/PR_SOL/pr_web.ve1?p_ukid=5143

You need to add salt to the water. How much depends on what size pool you have. Your owner's manual will tell you exactly how much to add when the low salt light comes on. On my Intex I would need to add 35 lbs.

A rough estimate is that you have about 10,500 gallons of water depending on how full you have your pool

This translates to about 200-250 pounds of salt

To be certain get a salt test kit ( costs about 11 dollars for 10 tests )
you want to be as close to 3000ppm as possible

Much more and you will taste a lot of salt less than 2500ppm and your unit will not generate enough chlorine

Start with 200 pounds spreading it around the pool. Now brush it around to partially disolve.
Most important now is to filter/circulate the water for 24 hours before checking the ppm

Although it may look disolved after a few hours it is NOT

if after checking if your salt ppm is not where I told you add 15 pounds at a time until it comes up or drain 2-4 inches and add fresh water to bring it down repeat as needed to reach 3000ppm

Now you can start producing chlorine

Remeber though contrary to the directions for intex the total hours of run time depend on # of swimmers how hot it was that day, rain, and sun light. You should start with the average in the book but adjust to what works for your swimming habits and weather

Good luck
