How does a saltwater pool work?Saltwater pools require a certain ppm of salt in the water in order for the salt cell to produce chlorine. So technically a saltwater pool is a chlorine pool. Saltwater pools are superior to traditional chlorine pools in which they require very little regular maintenance. Chlorine pools require a weekly shock treatment that can spike the chlorine level drastically. High chlorine levels can damage your liner and cause swimmer discomfort.
Why choose a saltwater pool?
- Salt water pools keep a steady chlorine level consistently allowing you to swim daily if desired.
- Saltwater pools tend to stay chemically balanced and only require testing every 4-6 weeks, unlike chlorine pools that need to be tested every 2-4 weeks
- Saltwater systems are designed with the "Set it & forget it" mentality allowing pool owners to spend more time IN the pool, than ON the pool.
