Pools. Pros & Cons of Salt or Chlorine?

[keithwand]

Pool owners. What are the pros and cons of either pool water from your experience?
We have to decide and find ourselves going back and forth between a salt water pool or a chlorine pool.
Does one cost more to have installed by the builder, does one cost more to operate.....

I have a salt water pool with a years experience and am pleased with its operation. Had a chlorine pool for years "up north" which took a lot of time to maintain.
Here is a site that responds to your question.
What are the advantages and disadvantages of a saltwater swimming pool (http://wiki.answers.com/Q/What_are_the_advantages_and_disadvantages_of_a_sal twater_swimming_pool)

I would have guessed there would be more than 1 pool owner in TV with an opinion based on their experience.
Guess I was wrong. Really?

What's "ozone"? What's the cost? Is it easier to clean or maintain.

We want to move to The Villages but really hadn't considered getting a pool since there are so many. But from these post, it seems many people do have pools put in.

I've never heard of an ozone pool.

I had never heard of it either. I don't plan on putting in a pool but did google it!

It appears gentlemen there are three choices..... and if I were you, I would look into Ozone. It may not be for you.... But what's to lose to check it out?
