Don't trust anyone who tells you a certain brand is best, or gives you best water clarity, etc... All saltwater systems do the same thing, produce pure chlorine sanitzer (Hypochlorus acid) from the small amount of salt in the water.
The difference between brands is primarily how much chlorine it is able to produce in a day: its output. Don't buy a system unluss you know how many lbs/day of chlorine it makes. Most municipalites look for at least 0.04 lbs/day PER THOUSAND GALLONS. Don't buy a system unless you know how many lbs/day of chlorine it is capable of producing, or you may find yourself lacking sanitation capabilies.
The next biggest difference is a salt system's longevity and warranty. The electrolytic cell will wear out. If you have to replace a cell every three years, like some brands, you won't save very much money. There are brands that last 5, 6, 7 years or more.
There aren't many sites out there that do product reviews or comparisons for saltwater pool systems (or salt water chlorine generators, saltwater chlorinators, electronic chlorine generators, whatever you want to call them). I have only seen two sites that have information on ALL brands, and one with product comparisons, they are:

The AquaTrol is the only chlorine generator designed specifically for the above ground pool. The pool�s water quality will be unmatched with the AquaTrol system. Now have crystal clear, silky smooth water at an affordable price. The AquaTrol chlorine generator takes common salt and converts it into chlorine without all the harsh side effects. No more red irritated eyes, dry itchy skin, or chlorine smell. The AquaTrol has a built in time clock that allows control of the filtering time and the chlorine production saving money by reducing filtering costs and never buying chlorine.

∙ 13y agoMagnablu Is a system that I have been using in my pool for about 7 months now and since installing the water has never looked as good consistently. Instead of using normal salt (Sodium Chloride ) This system uses A mixture of Magnesium Chloride and Potassium Chloride. It is feels better to swim in it makes your skin and muscles feel l better and its also good to water the garden with the backwash as these chemical unlike common salt are goo for plants. So far the new system is doing a great job compared to any thing else that I have seen.
The best system is undoubtedly the one YOU DO NOT BUY. See my other posts on this subject for more info.

Can plankton grow in a salt water pool?
To the best of my knowledge, no they can't. Your salt pool converts the salt into chlorine, and plankton cannot live in a chlorinated system.
Why does my Intex salt water pool system keep turning the water brown - goes into the system clear but water exits the system - and into pool - brownish?
Are you using iodized salt or pool salt? I've read that the iodine in the iodized salt will leave yellow staining in the pool.
Will switching from chlorine chemical system to a salt water system ruin pool?
No A salt water pool is in fact also chlorine pool, the difference being that with a salt water pool a salt water chlorinator converts the salt that is in the water into chlorine gas which is then dissolved into the water while the filter is running. the conversion wont have any adverse effects on the pool.

What is the best chemical for a pool in Oklahoma?
The best method of purifying your pool water is, without doubt, the saline (salt) water system. With only pure natural salt added to the water (very mild salinity, 1/3rd as salty as your own tears) a Saline System will produce all of the sanitizer your pool needs. It completely eliminates the need to add pool-chlorine, algaecides and 'shock' chemicals. Annual operating cost is as little as 410 worth of topup salt. You will have the best water you have ever seen or swum in, guaranteed.
Is a chlorine system or a salt water system the best for a lined pool?
A salt system IS a chlorine system. Chlorine is still the sanitizer. The salt system is there so a chlorine generator can make the chlorine from the salt instead of you having to deal with it. There is no such thing as "best", only tradeoffs. A salt system is expensive even if you break it down per year (with initial and replacement costs). However much less maintenance. A salt system IS perfectly safe for a vinyl, or any type, pool.

Yes The amount of salt in a salt water pool is about 3,000 parts per million the average bowl of soup has far more salt in it.
