How to Switch My Pool to Salt Water?

Hi Friends,

Swimming is an activity many people enjoy, although the sting of chlorine can be too much for those with sensitive skin. Chemically-produced chlorine prevents bacterial overgrowth in your pool, but it is not the only way to keep your water clear and fresh. So, I want to switch my pool to salt water, which will help for pool safe and clean.

Thanks with Regards,
Harry Potterish

@Harry Potterish,
You have clearly never seen an ocean before, if you think they are clean, sanitary, and bacteria- and algae-free.

@Harry Potterish,
If I were to install a pool, I agree I would have a salt water pool - these are getting more and more popular. I had done a little research on these previously - since have decided not to install a pool. If you are really interested, contact any pool company, they should be able to help you.

@jespah,
Saltwater pools still use chlorine; they just use chlorine that the system disassociates from the sodium in a salt molecule.

But I don't quite get how traditional chlorine promotes the growth of algae, either.

Both systems provide protection against algae, but buying supplies from a pool supply place is very expensive.

You can buy the exact same chemicals from a grocery store (in a different concentration) for a lot less.



The biggest problem I've seen with home pools is that people keep adding the chlorine pellets that have the stabilizer included. The stabilizer builds up, and the chlorine eventually evaporates. You end up with way too much stabilizer, and the pool isn't as enjoyable.
