Salt water pools produce "chlorine," so it is cheaper. It is also more troublesome. Yugos were also cheaper ... you get what you pay for.
If your chlorine generator is working properly and your salt levels are correct it will work just fine.
Though I have never been in a saltwater pool, my children have swam in several. They swear by it and insisted that ours be saltwater. I trusted their there request and went ahead to pay the extra money for something I know nothing about.
"Are saltwater pools cheaper or Better"? Really its not a Salt water Pool, bottom line is your gonna have saltwater in your pool with any type of sanitizer.Boxed chlorines are produced with sodium.
I like the easy part of the salt generator, less work and worry. Nothing beats a clean clear pool, I have been using generators for over 20 years, today's versions are light years ahead of my first unit in terms of cost and performance, you really get alot with today's modern generators at one huge value.
A chlorine generator is easy, efficient and cost effective. Of course there are cheaper ways to sanitize your pool. Most owners find they like the increased softness from a little salt in the water and it's easier to maintain a clean pool. When your not home it's especially easy and if you happen to go on vacation for a week or two.Your pool professional can recommend and professionally install the right unit for your pool.That also reminds me I know someone who doesn't have a heater for their in-ground pool no doubt they still swim.
Initially the salt system will be considerably more expensive. You have the cost of the salt cell,control panel and the salt for the pool. Over the long run though, the system will pay for itself. Salt is not used up so the only adding needed is what is lost during backwashing the filter, splashing and what people remove with them when getting out of the pool. IMO the salt system is a lot easier to maintain. once you have everything set properly, it will run and produce chlorine on its own. No more storing or handling harsh chemicals. Best part, you can leave for a month and come home to a clean pool instead of a slime pit. For more information visit howtobuildaningroundpool.com
We put in a saltwater pool and the only problem we had was we chose a limestone rock coping. The salt ate away alot of the rock and we've only had the pool four years. So last summer, I switched to chlorine and am letting the salt level gradually lower with backwashing, swimming, etc. Just be sure you use an appropriate coping material with the saltwater pool.
No the system is dearer because of the extra electronic equipment. however after the initial expense you never need to pay for chlorine and the system is more reliable which makes it more economical to run.
Well to some people it is but others are not very strong.

Salt water pools may not be as strong as chlorine. But it depends if you care for your health. Chlorine is a chemical, Salt is a natural mineral. I'd prefer salt. Besides i've heard its easy to maintain because my father had said so. He bought this 6 by 6 in device that he puts in his outground pool and it works perfectly. Rarely we'd have to clean the pool from bugs and stuff but overall its better, You can actually open your eyes underwater. AS for chlorine it causes skin problems and its an eye irritant.
No.
Yes, you can add a clear saltwater system to a ProSeries 14' X 42" Metal Frame Swimming Pool.
yes running the filter while swimming helps the filtration process. Also if the pool is saltwater then the system will replace chlorine being used while bathing.
Either the to much salt was added or the sensor is out of calibration or bad.
Regular swimming builds muscle endurance and muscle strength as well as cardiovascular fitness. Swimming does not put as much pressure on your bones as land exercise.
No. There are no saltwater rivers, but some river deltasare saltwater systems where they meet the ocean (or other saltwater body).
You can attach saltwater system to non-Intex pro series pool.
No, a saltwater pool does not need to be covered.

Yes.
Many people are choosing to remodel their swimming pool systems to add saltwater chlorination. With a saltwater pool system, a chlorine generator is added to the pool's filtration system. The water circulates through the chlorinator, where salt produces a chlorine gas that dissolves into the water. That chlorine in turn, breaks down and turns into salt, cycling the process all over again.
Yes, you can.
