- 1). Drain your pool to remove the old chlorinated water. Attach a water hose or other hose to the drain plug and allow the water to empty into a drainage ditch or the sewer system.
- 2). Install your saltwater generator. Two types are available for above-ground pools: an in-line generator and an over-the-wall generator. The in-line generator installs between the filter pump and the pool with very little effort; the over-the-wall generator hangs onto the side of the pool wall.
- 3). Fill the pool with fresh water. Do not pour beyond the recommended level.
- 4). Scatter the salt into the pool. Use a large scrub brush to push the salt around the bottom to ensure that the salt has dissolved completely.
- 5). Plug the generator into an electrical outlet and turn it on to begin the chlorinating process. For the in-line generator, be sure to turn on both the generator and the pump.
