I just had a pool installed and I went with a system where you put salt in the pool and a part of the filter uses electricity to break down the salt and produce chlorine. It has been working great and I am happy with it. My concern is that my 15 month old GSD loves to swim and he inevitably ingests some water. The amount of salt in the water is far less then sea water, which I know in too great a quantity is bad to ingest. Does anyone know if this level of salt, around 3000ppm, would be harmful?
When he plays in the yard, which is often, he will also go over to the pool to just drink. I always have fresh water for him, which he will also go to. He just goes wherever is closer. Thanks for your help.
Drinking once in a while is not bad but do not encourage it to become a habit as there are chemicals in it (I have a kid fence so dog can not get to the pool unless I take him in).
Swimming is the best exercise for the dog but more work for you to scoop most of the hair out. Scooping it out reduces the mess in the skimmers and filter.
As the pool is new, test the chemistry a few times a week and keep it in range, especially the ph and FC.
And the most important part which I am sure you have taken care of is to teach the dog how to get out of the pool by himself.
