It is merely another for of chlorine.
I have to believe you are correct, as I truly don't understand how the salt water system works BUT:

With chlorine tablets and powder, it was always a struggle to get the levels correct. It would irritate my eyes and leave my skin feeling chalky. If left alone for 3 or four days, the water would turn murky, algae would grow and it was a real pain to get it back close enough to get in the water.

Now with the Salt Water System, I can open my eyes under water, no smells or irritation at all. If left alone for 3 or 4 weeks, it is still perfect. I worked for 40 years to allow us the best and with the Salt Water Pool System, we have it. I wish you the best of luck with your new swim spa.
