Salt Water System Advantages
Saltwater pools produce water that feels smoother and silkier. This is easier on your eyes, skin, and hair, especially for people with sensitivities or allergies to chlorine.
Self-Regulating Chlorine
Salt systems use a salt chlorine generator to convert salt into chlorine on demand, maintaining a consistent level. That means:
- No need to manually add chlorine.
- Less chance of over-chlorination.
- Fewer harsh chemical smells.
Lower Long-Term Maintenance
While salt systems cost more upfront, they can save money over time:
- Fewer chemicals to buy.
- Less need for shocking the pool.
- More consistent water quality with less daily work.
Lower Irritation & Red Eyes
Because chlorine levels stay stable and are produced naturally, users report:
- No “chlorine smell.”
- Less eye and skin irritation
- Reduced risk of fading swimwear or pool surfaces.
Better for Pool Equipment (Over Time)
Saltwater is mildly corrosive, but:
- It causes less wear on liners and surfaces compared to harsh manual chlorination.
- Modern systems are designed to handle salt with minimal corrosion if properly maintained.
