Do saltwater swimming pools produce the same asthma symptoms as chlorine pools do?

No, but you will get dehydrated, making you breath heavy.
I don't agree that you get dehydrated. The body fluids contain salt so in a plain water pool the body is taking on water because it contains salt.
The fluids prescribed for an isotonic solution to rinse the nose to keep the sinuses from either gaining or losing water would contain about 500 Gallons of salt/25,000 Gallons of water.
A salt pool uses less than 100 gallons of salt/25,000 gallons of water. So the body still absorbs water but less than with a plain water pool. So a plain water pool is more likely to cause the sinuses to swell than a salt pool.

∙ 14y agoessentially yes they do. They produce chloramines and bromamines which can be quite bad for Asthma sufferers. however with a salt water chlorinator it is much easier and cheaper to control the level of chlorine in the pool so if it is outside you will never have any problems. If it is inside make sure there is good ventilation. Swimming can be very beneficial to asthma sufferers. My brother suffered quite sever asthma from the age of 4 to 14. he started swimming at 11 and it got better and better every year and he hasn't had an asthma attack in over 22 years

∙ 14y agoTo answer this question, you must first understand how salt water pools work. The salt in the water is NaCl or Sodium-Chloride. Every salt water pool has a "Chlorine Generator". The Chlorine generator.. you guessed it... generates chlorine and leaves sodium as the bi-product. If someone has a sensitivity to Chlorine even this option wouldn't be best.
If I were to have a suggestion it would be to try ozone as a sanitizer. An ozone system only uses oxygen. Oxygen and Water are the bi-product of this process.
Another suggestion would be to have a bromine system. This system also is Chlorine free however uses Bromine, a more volatile chemical.

You cannot get the salt level to come up in your swimming pool and the chlorine generator will not produce chlorine?
It sounds like the chlorine generator is broken
How often should you be using the chlorine booster in a saltwater pool system?
If you look at it from the point of view of economy then its a matter of weighing out the difference in the expense of running the chlorine generator long enough to produce the required chlorine. or the cost of the extra chlorine. Often when saltwater chlorinators are installed they are under size to make the sale easier. so a third option is to install a larger chlorine generator. Theoretically you shouldn't have to boost the chlorine at all.
What is pool cell?
Used for salt water pools, it uses salt to create chlorine... here is a more advanced answer.. from me. .. The chlorine generator (also known as salt cell, salt generator, salt chlorinator) uses electrolysis in the presence of dissolved salt (NaCl) to produce hypochlorous acid (HCIO) and sodium hypochlorite (NaClO), which are the sanitizing agents already commonly used in swimming pools. As such, a saltwater pool is not actually chlorine-free; it simply utilizes a chlorine generator instead of direct addition of chlorine.
What element will replace chlorine?
As we all know, chlorine is used to treatment of potable water, swimming pool, etc for many years, but it produce by-products which is harmful. now we get a substitute of chlorine, Chloramine-T, a ideal disinfectant for water treatment. it can function in water treatment but produce much less by-products. as the time being, chloramine-T will replace chlorine.
Can you make your own saltwater by just adding salt into your pool and if so how much salt and what type of salt should you use?
No you will not have a salt water pool. yes you will have salt water but the actual electronic plates found in a genrator converts the salt in the water to chlorine to sanitize the pool water. A: You have to have the mechanical device to produce the chlorine in a salt pool. THE SALT A MEANS TO PRODUCE CHLORINE FOR YOUR POOL!
What levels in salt chlorinated swimming pools can be tested?
Chlorine levels, PH levels, Salt levels, stabilizer level, Make sure salt chlorinators are set correctly, check timing so that pool is filtering for enough time to produce required chlorine.
Can a saltwater pool generate enough sanitizer?
yes, germs can live on a public swimming pool. why? because a public swimming pool is used by the public and people have germs on their body and when they get in the swimming pool, the germs on their body will be transfered to the water on the pool, and germs will spread in the water and people will also get germs. after having a swimming on a public swimming pool, you need to take an immediate bath so that germs will be killed.
