We have a newer salt water pool installed and maintained by T&D (for $112.70 per month). I have watched what the pool guy does for maintenance and it would be very easy for us to do it ourselves if we lived in the Villages full time. The only tricky part with a salt water pool is that the salt chlorination process creates alkinality, so the water PH needs to be balanced with muric acid. Muric acid is nasty stuff (before it is added to the pool and diluted) and needs to be handled very carefully.
