Advantages of a Saltwater Swimming Pool

Saltwater vs. Chlorine

With this hot summer weather I am sure that many of you have been spending time in the water, either in your pool or your neighbors. Lately I have noticed that many of these pools are cleaned with salt water instead of chlorine. I decided to do some research as to the advantages of salt water. Here are just a few of my findings;

Some advantages:

• Salt water is an expense when it is installed, but after that you do not have to add chlorine as salt makes chlorine. This saves you $60.00 for every bucket you buy.
• Salt is softer on your skin.
• The new salt systems are great, as they monitor and clean themselves.
• You also do not have the obnoxious little floater in your pool all the time with salt.
• Both systems generate Disinfection By Products (DBP). Both systems are very climate dependent and also vary based on pool usage.
