Love salt!
We have had our pool here in VA for 19 years and we have had a salt chlorinator the entire 19 years! It is the way to go! I would never have the tradtional one again. No chemicals to add, no worries, just set it and forget it! It is not actually a "salt water pool" like cruise lines. It takes salt and breaks it down to it's natural state of sodium chloride, hence, natural chlorine. It saves you $$ on chemicals but mostly it is the ease of ownership. We leave and spend 2-3 weeks in TV and never have anyone check our pool for chlorine,algae, etc. . The only reason our neightbor peers over the yard is for the water level , (getting low when its really hot.) The chlorinator keeps our water chemistry perfect 90 % of the time. Be aware, it only runs when you run the pump for those of you that cut your pool pumps off to save electric $$. We run our pump 24 hrs a day in VA especially when we are gone. . Believe me you will love it, we do. And yes, all of the pools in TV are salt ( at least the ones I have been in) We realized that the minute we jumped in, water was soft and very familiar. Oh, and also another benefit is..no faded liners or bathing suits, and no itchy red eyes or skin!
