Are salt water pools better than chlorinated pools?
People incorrectly assume that salt water pools are less expensive and maintenance than chlorinated pools. Actually, you might as well use bleach, which is also sodium hypochlorite! Science aside, you essentially make the chlorine yourself with a Salt Water Chlorinator for a saltwater pool. Unfortunately, many complain that they cannot get the desired chlorine level. Furthermore, if phosphates are present in the water, they are food for algae. When this happens, your pool simply will not catch up and build a reserve of chlorine in the water. We suggest that pool owners test the pH and alkalinity with frequency – it is best to run between 7.4 and 7.6 when using chlorine. With ionization technology, you can avoid the complications of salt water pools and the chlorine hazards of both and enjoy a chlorine-free pool.
