You can generate chlorine from salt. Salt is sodium chlorine in an acid solution passing electricity through the solution makes chlorine. It is a safer way because you do not need chlorine gas or the sodium hypochlorite.

Thanks. Well aware of that, especially as I have a salt water pool. The question was whether or not any of the "public" pools in The Villages are cholrine, bromine or salt water pools.

I also love the smell of the chlorine in a pool. But after reading the comment of why we smell that chlorine smell, I certainly won't be doing a lot of sniffing and taking it all in! LOL The school I work in has a pool and it always has that chlorine smell! Now I know why!! haha
