If you regularly buy chlorine for your pool, you may have heard we are experiencing a nationwide chlorine shortage. Luckily, saltwater pool conversion is a great alternative that allows you to use less chlorine, with other benefits that will allow you to enjoy your pool all year long.

Saltwater Pools vs. Chlorine Pools

Let’s clear up a common misconception – saltwater pools do still contain chlorine, but a smaller amount than the typical chlorine pool. You also do not have to use chlorine tablets, as the chlorine is generated through the salt system.

Here are a few key differences between a chlorine pool and pool that has been converted to a saltwater pool.

Cost

When you convert your pool to saltwater, there will be an initial cost for the salt system and installation. However, you will save money over time because you won’t have to regularly buy chlorine tablets. Saving on weekly chlorine will save you thousands in the long run.

Maintenance

Saltwater pools are easier to maintain than a chlorine pool. Although you still need to check your pH and alkalinity, and perform regular cleaning, your salt system will generate chlorine through its filter system, and you will not need to add it manually.

Smell & Effects

One of the top benefits of saltwater pool conversion is that your pool with not have the chlorine smell you get from a typical pool. You also will not experience the harmful effects from chlorine pools like – red burning eyes, itchy skin, green hair, bleached swimsuits, etc. Saltwater pools are better for individuals who have asthma or allergies, as excessive chlorine can cause lung inflammation or irritation.

Energy Efficient

Pool salt systems are often part of an updated pool with the latest equipment. They are often compatible with energy efficient pumps and automation systems, which help you modernize your pool while saving money on your energy bill.

How Do Pool Salt Systems Work?

The system works by a process know as electrolysis. As pool water passes through the salt cell, the water is exposed to a low voltage of electric current sent from the control box. This turns salt into chlorine gas, enters the water, sanitizes, and converts it back to salt.
