re: Saltwater Pool Questions

I have had both and honestly will never have a non saltwater pool again. My last pool was 8500 gallons. We ran an over sized pump 12 hours a day with a sand filter. Get a good test kit and a good automatic pool cleaner. Our pool was away from any trees so we rarely got much organic matter in the pool. We added maybe 1 bag of salt a month and some acid every couple of weeks. I also made sure to backflush my system at least twice a month to keep the sand clean. It was nice to swim in what amounts to weak saline solution. No stinging eyes. No chlorine smell. No tight and dried out skin feeling like we have experienced in chlorine pools. YMMV
