A Salt Chlorinator works by a small electric charge that breaks down the salt before going into the pool.. Thus making chlorine. (in a nut shell) A chlorinator you put tabs in just has water flowing through it breaking down the chlorine tabs and expelling it into the water. For a totally green pool that is algea, chemical, stain and scum line resistant. use a product called "ARMOR GUARD" it will save you about 50% on chemicals and will hold about 40% more heat in your pool. read more at www.ecosmartalternative.com for more information.

Yes, as long as you use a de-chlorinator, this can safely be done. Make sure the de-chlorinator destroys both chlorine and chloramines- many only remove one of the two.
