Salt water pools are not simply a pool with ocean water in it. This type of pool is named a salt water pool more for the equipment used to keep it clean than the type of water in it. Salt water pools do not require chlorine, but instead use salt. The salt chlorine generator will take the salt and turn it into chlorine. There are many reasons homeowners choose to install salt water pools. Some of the top reasons are:
- Smell – Because the chorine is made naturally in salt water pools, you will not have to deal with the ugly chorine smell of other typical pools.
- Gentler – Salt water pools are gentler on your skin, eyes, and clothes. You won’t get irritated eyes and skin or fading swim suits.
- Maintenance – The maintenance on salt water pools is simple and will cost you less than a chlorine pool.
- Storage – You won’t need to find room to store your extra chlorine for your pool upkeep. This can be worrisome for people with pets or small children. Salt is not toxic or harmful in the way that chlorine is, which makes its storage easy and worry free.
- Softer – The water in salt water pools is much softer and silkier than chlorinated pools. Your skin will feel much less dry after swimming in a salt water pool than swimming in a chlorinated pool.
