Salt Water Pools, Greenville, SC

We’ll give you all the relative information about salt water pools so you can make an informed decision.

One of the questions we often get asked here at Greenville Pools is whether a vinyl-lined inground pool can use a salt water chlorinator system. Salt water pools are very popular because of the ease of maintenance and how much gentler the water is on your eyes, skin, and hair. In fact, because the chlorine that is created with a salt water chlorinator doesn’t create chloramines and thus a salinity that is close in composition to your natural tears, you can swim underwater with your eyes open without that annoying sting. Salt water pools cost less to maintain because fewer chemicals are generally needed to keep the water balanced. So, what does this all mean for your pool? Well, the vinyl liner rather loves it too!

High levels of chlorine are damaging to pool liners, so salt water pools can extend the liner’s lifespan, saving you from a premature liner replacement. However, if you do plan to use a salt water chlorinator system, that information should be factored in as we design your custom pool so that other factors of the pool construction can be tailored to this type of system, and we can advise you about the importance of resolving any leaks promptly, so the salt water doesn’t come in contact with any metal parts that could become corroded. We would rather you had accurate expectations about salt water pools before you make this decision, so you can count on us to provide you with the answers you need.

"I couldn't have asked for more.”

"Absolutely amazing work done by these guys; I couldn't have asked for more. I was quoted 8 weeks and they over-delivered and got the job done in 6 weeks, including all water features and spa. The owner, Phil, even delivered 2 ledge loungers himself, and my wife loves them. The pavers make the look—don't settle for less.”

FAQs About Salt Water Pools

When you’re having a pool built, it’s important that it’s the right type of pool for your needs. Salt water pools are the right choice for many people, although few people have a clear understanding of what salt water pools have to offer and why they might be a better choice for them than chlorine pools. We want you to be informed before making a decision, so check out our frequently asked questions and their answers below.

Are salt water pools safe for people with allergies?

Salt water pools are the better option if you or a family member has allergies. High levels of chlorine in your pool can cause skin and eye irritation or even trigger asthma symptoms. In contrast, salt can actually be beneficial for allergies at times.

Do salt water pools contain chlorine?

Contrary to what many people might believe, salt water pools still contain some chlorine. There’s just less of it, and it’s added to the water differently than it would be in a non-salt water pool.

How do salt water pools work?

Salt water pools use a salt water or chlorine generator, which creates its own chlorine on site through electrolysis, meaning you don’t have to add store-bought chlorine to your pool. As a result, less chloramines are produced.

Jamie Holt

Delivered on everything we discussed. Pool was actually finished earlier than promised which was no small feat considering we had two solid weeks of rain. The crews they used were very diligent, respectful and hard working. The pavers surrounding the pool were a great finishing touch and really make the pool pop. We had a last minute request to extend our pavers after the original work was completed and they accommodated our request within a few business days. In many cases, this simple request could have taken weeks to accommodate.Phil and Roy are outstanding to work with and focus on customer service - a recently forgotten trait for many businesses.Highly recommend Greenville Pools and Pavers.

Absolutely thrilled with our experience with Greenville Pools! From the first consultation to the final walkthrough, the entire team was professional, knowledgeable, and a joy to work with. They helped us design the perfect custom pool for our backyard and stayed on schedule every step of the way. The craftsmanship is top-notch, and the attention to detail blew us away. We’ve gotten so many compliments already — it feels like a resort in our own backyard! And, as promised, they finished the pool in 4 weeks with consistent communication. I highly recommend Greenville Pools to anyone looking to transform their outdoor space. Thank you for making our dream a reality!

Elizabeth Edwards

We contacted Greenville pools in April and we were swimming in our gorgeous pool by July 1st. The construction only took 4 weeks and all the workers were respectful of our home and the fact that we had four dogs. The owners helped us design our dream pool and answered all our questions during the process. We’ve never had a pool, so we needed all the info, Roy was always happy to help. I would absolutely recommend Greenville Pools, we love our pool!

Casey Reavis

Awesome company and expertise. Our pool looks amazing and we are so glad we went with this company! The pavers make a huge difference and they make beautiful pools. Highly recommend.

Stephanie G

This is our first time working with an honest and reliable contractor company since we moved here to Greenville. Everything we spoke about was delivered. Not only did they follow through in a timely manner - but the finished product was better than we imagined. The owners were honest and huge on communication. Every question we had they answered and explained. There was no guesswork or questions about timeline or the product we were receiving. Best part- no hidden cost. The detailed contract was exactly what we received and what we paid. The company has 2 groups of workers. One is for the digging and final parts. The second group is for the pavers and more detailed parts. Both groups were amazing. They were kind and polite. They worked so hard and quickly. Every day they arrived and cleaned up when they left. The company said they would have the pool done in 6-8 weeks. Well it was 4 weeks from initial dig to swim!!!!! Even during extreme heat and huge rocks in our yard. They finished our gorgeous pool in 4 weeks! It is stunning and all because of the group of guys they have working for them. The owners came by often to check on progress and texted or called often. I would 100% recommend Greenville Pools for anyone who wants a beautiful addition to their home.
