Hello! As long as the levels are maintained, everything should be fine. But, if the levels arent balanced, the salt can corrode the marcite finish because the water would become too acidic for the finish. What was meant by adding calcium was that there would just be calcium build up over time. Thanks for commenting!
Great video. Salt systems are a little more problematic in my area of Texas, but it is still a reasonable option. Thank you for not being one of the "Salt is best for every pool" people.
Do you install pools in MD .......right on Delaware Maryland line.....about 10-12 miles from Delaware Memorial Bridge.?? Please say yes........ or please recommend someone who uses gravel (no sand) for base under fiberglass pool who also uses the salt chlorinator....... you have me convinced and your reviews are exactly what I love hearing...... I need to budget so a 16x40 rectangular fiberglass pool installed......yard level, but please give me idea decking and fencing I could expect to spend.....thanks!!
AlbertGroup thanks so much for responding so quickly..... seeing your reviews and listening to your videos one can tell you are a honest company.... I am convinced the 16 X 40 foot fiberglass pool, with automatic cover and salt chlorination is the way to go and we are about a year away from an installation and hoping we won’t get taken advantage of. It is a very level spot but I will need fencing and some decking and hoping we can get it all for about sixty thousand dollars......thanks again!!
AlbertGroup thanks.... one question if you dont mind.... I want fiberglass and spoke to dealer from Viking pools and he was telling me their warranty requires a sand base at bottom of pool and somewhere I read should use crushed stone to keep it from shifting. I asked him twice because I heard with the stone there would be no movement and this dealer was adamant that warranty required a sand bottom.... your thought? Thanks!
Something is not right with that setup then, Sounds like too much chlorine was being produced. I've seen it happen when a salt system was set to max output and the client went on vacation for one month with the automatic cover closed. The sun is part of your pool chemistry. Dumping some water and adding fresh water fixed it fast. To answer your question, the water should feel great and have a very light chlorine smell.
Great question! Now, we arent expert scientists, but here is what we know. The harder your water, the more calcium in the water. Water evaporates, which in Texas, it evaporates way faster than it does here in New York. So, you keep adding more calcium into your pool. Calcium deposits build up and can cause maintenance issues that could be only a little cleanup or cost you money for repairs to your equipment, liner, filtration, etc. You should inspect your pool regularly to avoid this, especially in Texas. Hope this helps!
