Ease of Maintaining:
Salt water pools make for the ultimate low maintenance swimming pool experience. Most users check their water once per week to make sure the system is producing natural chlorine. Beyond that, there is very little one needs to do, other than balance the water on occasion. This is also why salt water pool are perfect for people with weekend homes or those that are constantly traveling and thus unable to attend to their pool. With its consistent feed of natural chlorine in the water, salt practically eliminates the dedication that comes with swimming pool ownership.
Swim Comfort:
Some may compare salt pools to the salt water in the ocean. The two have nothing in common other than the word “salt” and the fact they are both water. It fact, salt pools have 1/10 the level of salt that an ocean has. Most swimmers cannot even tell the difference between a salt pool and a traditional pool with liquid chlorine.
Affect on the Pool Equipment:
There are some debates if your pool is concrete; however if you do have a concrete pool, it would be suggested that the pool should be resurfaced with or without a salt system. As far as a fiberglass pool, salt has no impact on the shell’s surface longevity, nor on the general equipment as a whole.
Cost:
The average salt system can range in price; however, the long-term savings is what pool owners should focus on. Swimming pool owners that use salt, will usually spend less than $100 a year on chemicals versus well over $300 for traditional chemicals. If you compound this over the course of a few years, you’ve easily paid for the new salt system.
Overall Benefit:
Many pool owners rave about its benefits and ease of use. In fact, many wish they would have made the switch earlier than they had. After all, the whole purpose of owning a swimming pool is to relax more, not work more. Salt chlorine generators will certainly help you accomplish that.
