The salt system is much easier on everything...the components, the pool, pool equipment, bathing suits, your eyes, etc, etc.
It is always annoying when isolated incidents are extrapolated to represent a general condition.

I will explain it for you.
It was 3 of T&D's personnel who told me T&D makes more money on salt water pools due to the higher prices for the equipment (profit on cost) and then again when the ionizer needs replacing. I am glad for you that yours is going on 9 years.
Others that I know lasted only 5.
Its like anything; our AC unit in Winter Park lasted only 8 years before it needed replacing. Its a crap shoot when anything breaks down and needs replacing.
We originally were going with saltwater as well before questioning friends in FL with both types and decided to go chlorine.
Pros and cons for both.
