What are the advantages of a saltwater pool?
The main advantage of a saltwater pool is the feel of the water. The elimination of adding chlorine helps eliminate some of the disadvantages of chlorine — red eyes, discolored hair, itchy skin, etc. Many saltwater pool owners talk about how “soft” and “smooth” the water feels. Another advantage is that you do not have to purchase, store or handle chlorine regularly. There are times that you might have to add chlorine to the pool, but it will not be on a regular basis. In addition, I often hear pool owners talk about how easy it is to take care of their saltwater pool. What are the disadvantages of a saltwater pool? The main disadvantage of a saltwater pool is the initial cost. The installed price for these systems typically cost $1,500 to $2,000 for residential pools, depending on the quality of the system and what balancing chemicals are included with the system. The system is often sold as a cost-savings system, but I don’t believe that to be true. You no longer have to buy chlorine
