Traditional Chlorine vs Salt Water Chlorine Pool? was created by Brooke Mangrum Vinson

Traditional Chlorine vs Salt Water Chlorine Pool? We are a 256 unit community with a 10 year old Hayward chlorine system that is on the fritz. We’re trying to weigh out the pros and cons. I’d love to get feedback, especially if someone has done a chlorine to saltwater conversion themselves. Thank you.

I'm for traditional chlorine. they say salt saves money but I believe buying new cells and having to still have chlorine back up. I don't think it saves that much money. Just my opinion from my 30 years in the business

I had a new construction salt water pool and it was so so so difficult to keep clear. Just constant service calls and tons of money. A nightmare. Residents hated it.

Regular chlorine all the way. The salt ruins the cells and over time damages your coping and deck

If you’re open 12 months, chlorine.
I’ve used ozone treatment equipment. Which works really well during low usage periods. I just supplement with chlorine during the busy season. During the low use seasons, virtually no chlorine is needed.
