re: Best filter system for an inground pool?

I have chlorine. I didn’t get salt bc a salt water pool will corrode everything near the pool. My pool is right off the back porch and I have a lot of metal things in my outdoor kitchen.
My chlorine takes little effort to keep balanced. I follow the guidelines from troublefreepool.com. It’s cost effective and I don’t even spend 10 minutes per week on the pool unless I’m skimming out shite from the neighbor’s trees. you can easily keep your chlorine on the safe but low side of things. I don’t smell like chlorine when I get out of the pool and my water is crystal clear. Everyone I know that has a salt water pool ends up adding shock(chlorine) to it to bring it back when the water gets off.

Is this really a thing? I figure it is such a low salt concentration compare to the ocean that it wouldn’t be an issue. I have salt but my pool is set pretty far away from the house so it’s not a big deal. We do have metal patio furniture, never had an issue with rust.
I haven’t had any experience with the other types, but salt couldn’t be easier to maintain a clean pool. I also got a dolphin cleaner this year which pretty much eliminates the need for brushing

That's the nice thing about having your own pool.
When I filled mine up the guy who was helping me said "water coming from your spigot is completely balanced. You want to keep your pool that way going forward."
Of course you're going to screw up from time to time, equipment fails, etc and you'll need to super chlorinate it but once that's done you go back to normal.
A chlorine pool is not a negative thing.
