Best Answer

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.

What is dechlorinated tap water?

Tap water contains chlorine to ensure no bacteria in the available drinking water source. Chlorine is also used in pools for the same reason. The disadvantage of having chlorine in our drinking water is that if we use it to water plants, it does about as much harm as good. The same rule applies to drinking that same water, as chlorine in the stomach causes acid reflux and erosive esophigitis as the chlorine becomes chlorine gas and is unhealthy. The best thing you can do is filter tap water by way of a charcoal filtering system.

Can anyone recommend a 100 percent chlorine free sanitation system for my swimming pool?

Yes, e-clear on Oxygen is 100% chlorine free. It does not use any chlorine or salt or any other chlorides (such as Potassium chloride or magnesium chloride) to generate chlorine, but instead relies on an advanced oxidation process which is combined with copper ionization to sanitize the water.

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.

Can you change a regular hot tub to a saltwater hot tub?

You will need to get equipment besides the salt to convert to a saltwater system. The way a salt water system works is that salt is added to the water in the pool then an electrode is fitted inline that works usually while the filter is opperating which converts the salt into chlorine which then disololves int the water. You would be best of checking with your poolshop to find out what would be the best choice.

With a pool that is 151000 gallons what is the best cleaning system to use other than liquid chemicals?

I assume by 'cleaning' you are referring to the sanitizing of the water and that you use 'liquid chlorine' at present. If this is so, a far better method of sanitizing the water, keeping algae away, etc is the Saline system. You never need to buy chlorine, of any kind, because the Saline System produces the same thing from a mild level of salt dissolved into the pool water - but the results are like chemical-free water. Contact me for details.


What kind of swimsuits are chlorine resistant?

Another swimsuit for fitness swimmers who have to be in chlorinated pool water for long hours is a leg swimwear. Leg swimwear especially the ones that are fully cut, have squared-off legs with strips racing on the both the hips and fully lined are the most preferred ones and swimmers are very commonly seen sporting these types of leg swimwear. Leg swim wears are mostly 100% nylon tricot and are highly resistant to chlorine.


I added about 11lbs of shock to my pool because that's what the pool store said I needed Now I'm getting a high reading of free chlorine count and the water is cloudy will it clear up after a while?

Not unless you are running the pump and filter. 1, 2 or 3 or even 4 hrs. are not enough to clear the water. Run the system 24/7 for best water quality. If you can read a quarter at the deepest end of the pool bottom then you have run the system long enough. You may also want to add liquid chlorine to sanitize the water. Unless the "shock" is actually chlorine.
