Does anyone know if The Villages has considered doing this? And why aren't the newest pools south of 466A Saltwater ones (or are they)?

I dunno but as everyone knows, it doesn't stop me from having an opinion.

I would guess that pools that a lot of people swim in have to have bleach added for health reasons.

BUT...you said a large community pool was using salt water. I wonder how the germs feel about salt?
