Enjoy the benefits of saltwater in your pool and spend less time handling toxic chemicals.
One of the best ways to upgrade your existing pool or spa is with a saltwater conversion. There are multiple benefits to making this significant change, providing a safer and more comfortable backyard experience for your family.
Safety
With a saltwater pool, you won’t need to store large quantities of dangerous concentrated chemicals, like chlorine or bromine, that not only give off a harsh smell, but also may affect your health.
Health Benefits
- Saltwater pools have lower levels of chloramines, so they don’t irritate eyes and lungs or dry out skin and hair.
- Chlorine pools may cause health problems that can result from frequent exposure to chloramines, like coughing, asthma symptoms, rashes, and allergic rhinitis, something you won’t have to worry about with saltwater pools.
- Saltwater pools won’t turn blonde hair green. The interaction between copper (in pool algaecides) and chlorine causes this issue—it’s not a side effect with saltwater pools, which have less chlorine.
Easy Maintenance
Saltwater pools only contain about 10% as much salt as seawater, and don’t worry, you cannot taste the salt. Like standard chlorinated pools, saltwater pools rely on chlorine to disinfect the water—just in smaller quantities. At the beginning of the season, you add bulk salt (sodium chloride) to pool water. This salty water draws into a chlorinator whose salt cell component converts it into chlorine via electrolysis. The resulting water is soft and fresh, mimicking the feel of a lake.
