Chlorine or salt: what changes for you
Salt pools still use chlorine. The difference is where it comes from and what you pay each month.
A salt pool makes its own chlorine from dissolved salt. The water feels softer and you buy fewer chemicals, but the salt cell needs care and replacing every few years.
Cost over time
Salt systems cost more to install and less to run. On our plans a salt pool is about $10 a month cheaper.
