I don't know. My best guess is that they would taste horrible just like saltwater from the oceans because of their extremely high salt concentration.

Salt water pools are less than 1/5 the salt of the ocean. The salt content mirrors the salt content of our bodies. The taste is very mild. Chlorine levels will vary. The pH and alkalinity of the water have an effect on bather comfort.

Is saltwater pools sore on your eyes?

True salt water pools have the same parts per million (ppm) as sea water which is roughly 35,000 ppm. We have a salt taste threshold of around 3,500 ppm and our eyes have about 7,000ppm. Most chlorine generators require a salt content of 3,000-5,000 ppm in the pool. You will feel the salt in a true salt water pool, most people don't notice the salt in a pool with a chlorine generator.

How do you get rid of water boatmen and backswimmers in a saltwater pool I have read where BioGuard works wonders for chlorinated pools but does it work for saltwater If not what does?

Salt water pools are in fact chlorine pools part of the salt is turned into chlorine by the salt water chlorinater If it works in a normally chlorinated pool it should also work in a salt water pool. However you should check if there is any metallic ingredient like copper in it as these are not recommended in salt water pools.

Salt water pools can be easier to maintain than traditional chlorine pools because they require less frequent monitoring and adjustment of chemical levels. However, salt water pools still require regular maintenance to ensure proper balance of chemicals and prevent algae growth.


Are salt water pools colder than chlorine pools?

Salt water pools typically maintain a similar temperature to chlorine pools since the method of sanitization (salt vs. chlorine) does not significantly affect the water temperature. Other factors, such as sun exposure, time of day, and climate, have a greater impact on the water temperature of the pool.

Can babies swim in a saltwater pool?

it depends on whether the person is salt sensitive or not. in my pool some people say they can taste a salt flavor in the pool water and other people can't taste anything. it also depends on the type of chlorine generator you have installed some systems require more salt than others to operate so if you are salt sensitive look for a system that requires a lower level of salt to operate correctly. my system operates at 2900 ppm to 4000 ppm when i keep it at the higher end of the range more people can taste the salt than if i keep it at the lower end. hope this helps
