hi i have been asked to look after an infinity pool for a friend.it has a salt water chlorinator. when i first looked at it the pool was green and black and the machine was not working right.after adding the correct ammount of salt 200kg. the machine was reset and the ph set right.after this the pool cleared and was fine,but no one was using it so the overflowing of the infinity was not an issue,but now the pool is ready for summer and the first guest arrived.3 days before they arrived i checked the salt level and topped it up with 1/2 bag and that was fine. i went away for a week and when i returned the pool was going green and cloudy and the machine had failed. when i checked the salt level it was zero. it then came out that the guest had tried to get the infinity part working and put the hose on all day so had washed the salt out. there are no leaks in the trough ,so it appears the water is going into the tank and not coming back.according to one of your posts it should have 2 pumps but it hasnt. is there anyone that deals with these pools more than me.i only look after it to learn a bit more.the pool is 6m by 4m and 1 1/2m deep. thanks paul
