we have a salt water cell.....computer something or other that connects to the pool pipes near the pump....turns the salt to cholrine. that is a salt water pool.
we add 2 bags of salt every 4-6 months....never cholrine.....as that would hurt the cell and when we have to replace it...twice in 15 years, the cell cost $700 and hubby can replace it himself which saves on labor charges.
we do take the water to the pool store every other month or so and they give us chemical ph up and down and stabalizer and such.
and thats all the care the pool needs with the baracuda vac the skimmer and the birdcage
cost a little but having our own makes up for the costs.
