I'd love to hear from you if you've had experience with a salt pool for a while. Does it stay clean and algae free even in the hottest months?
Since I'm away for months at a time, is it realistic to expect the pool can remain clean and stable with maintenance visits only twice a month?
Thanks!!

Our neighbors recently got quotes on the conversion, $1,500 from T&D and $1,200 from Jack's Solar. When we converted over two yrs ago we eliminated our weekly maint visits and handle that ourselves. The pool does stay clean but we have found that in the hotter months we do need to add stabilizer once a month.
I do not think you would have pool issues with bi-weekly maint visits. But the question would be does anyone do bi-weekly visits? Before we opted for the salt we checked a couple of vendors and neither would do a bi-weekly visit so we opted to handle it ourselves.
