All chlorine comes from salt weather it is made fresh from a generator or in tab form chlorine or Bromine. You may want to consider Ozone. Or Bromine All salt pools have chlorine in them that is what the salt is for. The small amount of diluted salt is run thru the salt generator and thus produces chlorine. The amount of salt in you or any pool can not be perceived by the body. It is in such small quanties. Not even close to that of the ocean. Apparently no one explained the system to you when it was installed or perhaps you forgot or were not listening. Google pool salt systems and get informed.

∙ 12y agoYes a saltwater pool would be best for you. If you're allergic to cholrine than you certainly wouldn't want to swim in it!

NOT ALL POOLS NEED CHLORINE. Salt Water pools are cleaner and do not harm the environment. I too am allergic to chlorine. It affects more than just my eyes. When I swim in pools with chlorine, I get upper respiratory and bladder infections. I too am having difficulty locating a non-chlorine public alternative. Because chlorine is cheaper than salt and most people aren't allergic to the levels used in public swimming pools; most municipalities choose that option. What I would recommend is that you call the local Parks & Recreations Office and ask them if there are any public salt water pools.

I don't know the exact chemical reaction but my wife and I were told by the jewler not to wear our wedding rings in the pool. I took chemistry in college and I'm pretty sure chlorine forms hydrochloric acid in water, so there is a dilute acidic solution in swimming pools. So the reaction involved is between a metal and an acid.
