I have a small saltwater pool and absolutely love the fact that I never again have to add any form of chlorine manually again. You set the percentage on the control panel and test the water occasionally. I don't change the setting more than 2-3 times per YEAR max. The only maintenance, other than weekly vacuuming, is adding the muriatic acid weekly (which you do with a standard pool also) but no more chlorine storage and handling nightmares like I had with a larger pool in NY for years. It seemed that I always had to keep adding more or less chlorine, would end up with algae and shocking the pool a few times a year. Now it's fantastic not to deal with the chlorine issues.
