No you do not need to take out any water at all. A salt water pool is in fact a chlorine pool. the difference is that salt is added to the water so that as it is run through a chlorine generator fitted in line in the filtration system chlorine gas iselectronically made from the salt then mixed with the water to create a constant supply of chlorine to the pool.
You can use the same water but you should also get a second job to pay for the increased running time on the pump and the replacement cells every three years at $650 a pop. Also plan on redoing the coping, decking and any other cementitious or metallic surface that comes into contact with the corrosive salt water. I am a pool remodeling contractor and these things have been a boon to my business fixing all the damage they inflict. Anybody ever seen the rusted out cars and pitted sidewalks from salt used in snowy climates. Why would it not do the same to a pool and any metallic surfaces it contacts. DUH!! Salt generators create sodium hypochlorite, NaOCL not chlorine gas.Wiki User

Fresh water pool that you are thinking of converting to a Salt Water system your neighbors tell you that they have little or no maintenance with their Salt system?
I have a fresh water pool that I am thinking of converting to a Salt Water system. My neighbors tell me that they have little or no maintenance with their Salt system. The question I have is if I convert to a salt system why do I have to spend $1,000 on a Chlorine Generator.? If I add the salt, to change the softness and control the Algae then instead of purchasing a Chlorine Generator and paying the electricity costs why don't I just use my present automatic chlorinator with Chlorine Tablets? After a process called electrolysis is using the box of electronics breaks down the salt in the salt water In a salt system the electronic box is connected to the electrodes in the "Cell". So my point is that instead of generating chlorine from salt why don't I just add it like I don now with my fresh water system..
