As a pool owner, you’ve probably heard people mention how salt is a great alternative to chlorine.

The biggest CON wih salt water pools is actually the COST: $1,000+ for the unit, $400+ for installation and then 600+ pounds of salt. Then the salt cell generating cell plates need replacement every 3-5 years at $500+ a pop. Plus there’s monthly maintenance, future salt additions and the need for a separate salt level tester. For the 5 years expense of owning a salt pool you could literally buy two decades of liquid chlorine - it’s easy math.

We changed from Chlorine tablets to the Salt Generator years ago. I have have to replace the salt cell twice. Both have lasted over 7 years. Salt in our area runs between $7 and $9 per bag. I usually have to add five or six bags a year to keep my salt levels up, so 6 bags at $9 is $54 per year. Chlorine Tablets in our area runs from $150 to $175 per bucket. We used 3 to 4 buckets per year so 4 buckets at an average cost of $162.50 is $650 per year. The last Salt Cell I bought was $929. At about 7 years of life it comes out to $132.71 per year. So the salt and salt cell cost per year is about $186.71 compared to $650 per year for Chlorine Tablets. From our experience, using Chlorine Tablets has been much more destructive to our metal patio furniture around the pool than salt. I could never open my eyes under water when we used the tablets as my eyes burned when I did so. With the salt system, I have found that it actually feels soothing, for lack of a better word, to my eyes when I open them under water. All of this is my opinion and what my experience has been. I am sure others may have different views. Do what works better for you!!

I have had a salt water Chlorinator since 2016 the first couple of years it worked great after a few years I would have to add a jug of liquid chlorine to keep up in the summer especially if we got a lot of rain .Periodically you have to pull the cell out of the line an clean it with a little acid wash in a 5 gallon bucket its not a big deal you just need to be careful when using acid. Also with a lot of rain you have to add a bag of salt to keep the salt range above 2700 ppm. Right now mine reads 2400 no mater what. the actual water was 4200 ppm when I had it tested. I paid 1200.00 for my unit in 2016 now a circuit board is 700 and a new cell is 1000 plus having someone troubleshoot it. I have a 24000 pool so I have to have the biggest unit they have today it is 1800.00 for a new complete unit. My last complaint is my pump and sand filter are very close to my house like a couple feet. I have noticed over the years that the cement blocks and stucco wall in that area down low are literally being eaten away. I have decided for know to go back to the old way

You cannot get quality without higher price. Salt is MUCH, MUCH better for skin and respiratory system. I mentioned something strange in swimming pool 5 years ago. My skin is fine, no smell, so I asked what is so different about the pool. A guy tells me that no more chlorine, but salt. NICE. Today: Public swimming pool asks $300 for swimming from May to September. No problem for me and my wife. But, no salt. We gave up. They offer barbeque (smoke during swimming - "NICE") and Wi-Fi. Money means nothing in the US. Poor country.
