Algae is algae. It grows in all swimming pool water - indoor, outdoor and it does not matter what type of filter or how the pool water is chlorinated or brominated. All pools have salt in the water since liquid bleach is made from salt and calcium hypochlorite contains salt. Therefore all pools have salt. Just as all pools have algae.
Algae is a living plant that takes in nutrients.
Therefore in order to control algae something that prevents it from taking in nutrients will control its growth. The simplest way is to use a clarifier on a weekly basis in a indoor or outdoor residential pool or daily on a public swimming pool.
Swimming pool chemicals are a buyer beware market. Purchase a brand from a professional pool store or supplier if possible. Even then you do not know if the chemical purchased will do what the directions say it will.
Use an algaecide and a water clarifier weekly maintain the free chlorine around 1 ppm (not over 1 ppm or toxic chlorine by products will be formed and never shock dose or add a lot of chlorine since toxic chlorine by products will be formed.
Use a quality algaecide and superior water clarifier

Salt pools still require weekly shock maintenance, but not near the amount that a chlorine pool would need. There are Salt Pool Shock Treatments out there for your particular pool setup.

Most systems use 2500 to 6000 parts per million, that would be way less than 1 percent
What do we use salt to?
Salt is put into swimming pools so that the water from the pool can be run through a salt water chlorinator which produces chlorine to disinfect the pools water.

Can you use salt water system with any pool?
Yes and no. Most inground plaster, fiberglass, and vinyl pools are compatible BUT older pool equipment such as heaters with copper heat exchangers and some pool ladders and screws on skimmers and light niches might need to be upgraded to materials that won't readily corrode or be degraded. Newer pools usually have such equipment already but it is best to check. Also, some inground pools build with some types of natural local rock (often limestone in parts of Texas) have reported problems with salt pools so salt systems should not be used or the rock work will need to be sealed on a regular basis to help protect it. Many steel walled above ground pools also are not compatible with salt systems because of corrosion issues.
Are tide pools salt water?
YES
Are salt water swimming pool filters systems safe as you were told they create chloramine which is a carcinogen when it touches organic material like humans?
Salt water swimming pools are very safe, and are very popular in Australia. Chloramines are created in all chlorine pools including salt and fresh water, generally from being used. Regular maintenance is required to alleviate chloramines.
