Salt water swimming pools may create images in your head of salty tasting water and high prices. However, you might be surprised! A salt water swimming pool is not a pool that tastes like the ocean and lacks chlorine. It is simply a pool that enjoys the benefits of a salt chlorine generator. These chlorine generators automatically convert small amounts of ordinary non-iodized table salt or water softener grades of salt into chlorine, keeping your swimming pool sanitized and free from algae. A teaspoon of salt per gallon of pool water is all you need. The salt never leaves your pool and is used over and over by the system to generate chlorine that purifies your water and leaves the pool crystal clear. Chlorine generators are totally automatic and are perfect for plaster, vinyl, or fiberglass residential pools up to 40,000 gallons.
The salt cannot be tasted because the salt solution in your pool is at a much lower level than that which is found in a human tear. You will no longer have to deal with harsh, smelly chlorine products. The silky smooth water will no make your skin dry or your hair brittle. In fact, you skin and hair often feel softer after leaving the pool. Salt water pool are also much easier on your eyes than regular pools. You will be able to open your eyes underwater without the itch and burn of traditional chlorine. Installation is easy, as illustrated below, and you will save hundreds of dollars on pool chemicals! These systems are perfect for anyone who has little ones or sensitive skin, but also for anyone who is looking for a softer, gentler alternative to traditional chlorine.
