Have you ever wondered if you should switch your pool to a salt system? Let's talk about the difference between chlorine vs salt system.
What is a salt system? This is a pool system that continuously generates chlorine from pool salt through salt cells.
What are the benefits to a salt system? Once a salt system has been installed in your pool, it will be able to generate its own chlorine through salt continuously. This system is easier to maintain than using granular chlorine, and cheaper once it's installed. Not to mention, the water is much softer and of better quality than that of granular chlorine.
Are there any cons? There is a higher cost upfront to install a salt system vs using granular chlorine. Also, the salt can corrode metals over time.
What about granular chlorine? This has a lower upfront cost, but requires harsher chemicals to maintain the pool's water balance. These chemicals can dry out skin, irritate eyes, and bleach swimwear. You'll need a steady supply of granular chlorine and you'll work a bit more to balance your water regularly.
