I think that a great idea. I've always wanted to live near the ocean for a source of real salt water for aquarium. You'll have to aerate it to keep it alive and some of the plankton is going to die, so you need a good filter. Keep an eye on the pH. I think it's suppose to be 8.2, but get a pH meter and take a reading of the ocean and keep your pool at whatever you get. Use fresh water to make up for evaporation or it will get too salty and you'll wind up having something more like the Dead Sea. The Texas State Aquarium in Corpus Christi just recirculates the ocean for their water and that's the best.

Check on the salinity required immediately because it is much lower then sea water other than that and getting rid of the original algae etc it sounds like a good Idea.

no not really but they do sell salt water pools today instead of chemical ones

Any pool can be converted to a salt chlorine generator pool. You put salt in the pool and an electrolytic cell makes chlorine from the salt. These are fine if you want to spend more money than necessary to maintain your pool. These are one of the biggest ripoffs foisted upon the pool owning public. Almost all of the positive stuff you read is written by someone who sells, installs, or makes salt generators. The real scoop can be found on the research done by Dr. Damian Katchlekev and Dr. Nuripam Pal from Cal State SLO. Sorry if I misspelled your names guys. But the research done proved that salt generators are the WORST way to maintain a pool. Most people in the industry who put them on their home pools when they first became available have since taken them off and now require their customers to sign a hold harmless waiver if they insist on installing them. I have repaired hundreds of thousands of dollars of damage caused by salt.

Yes, you can. Sea water is a good idea provided you exchange it out often enough, as it requires no addition of chlorine or chemicals and is free to use.

Yes, you can use it. If you have any rock around the edge you want to seal the rock so the salt won't deteriorate the rock over time.

To the best of my knowledge, no they can't. Your salt pool converts the salt into chlorine, and plankton cannot live in a chlorinated system.
