When we moved into our La Canada fixer-upper, we knew we wanted to put in a pool. But first things first, we remodeled the kitchen and baths. Several years later, we could afford a swimming pool and had a standard chlorinated one built. Our daughters had many birthday pool parties while my husband, George, grilled hot dogs. About ten years after the pool was put in, I learned about saltwater pools from a client and was intrigued.
Salt Water vs. Chlorinated Pool:
The water is softened, like a water softener.
I, like most people, am not sensitive to salt water and don’t experience dried-out skin or burning eyes.
On the other hand, saltwater pools are more corrosive. Having had both, I prefer salt water over a chlorinated pool.
