4 Good Facts About Salt Water Pools

Good info thanks, can you also please make video on adding borates or boric acid?

Hi Steve. I live in an apartment complex ith a large saly water pool. I have noticed that only 50 % of the jets and skimmers are working. I'm in Tennessee and we have had 90 degrees plus for weeks. I spent some time yesterday in the pool cleaning out skimmers baskets and using the complexes skimmers net and walked around for an hour straight just to get debris bugs hair ect. A few Weeks ago the pool was shut down for repairs. I understand that a pump needed replacement. I was bad the I could see it was cloudy and milk looking. Should the complex be running at 50% filtration? I assume that during peak times like weekends that the pool should be tuning over continously.

What are the big differences between systems with one pump cell and filter and those with two or more. Thank you.

Mahalo 🌴🤙😎 I have a salt system, on a shelf. I was thinking of reinstalling until your content explained why I removed it in the first place again Thank You

What about above ground pools? Which pool is best with salt water filter?

I’m starting to learn so much about our pool and that maybe the maintenance company….. doesn’t know as much or is overly lazy. Along with the lack of info the builders gave us. 😲🤔

Why did Canada ban saltwater systems and why is it basically impossible to purchase salt cartridges; do you think there is a valid health risk?

This is a GOOD comment

Salt is the only way to go. Not even an argument about it

Here's my litmus .. if you have children or grandchildren get a salt water pool .. Vs .. if your pool is an expensive fountain and foot washer then use regular chlorine. What you failed to mention is the chlorine count is considerably lower in a saltwater-based pool. For small children this is by far the biggest benefit including the slightly added buoyancy. Other than that I have a good pool guy, I don't care about the cost I care about my children and grandchildren that's it that's all that matters.

You neglected to include the most important benefit of salt water pools and that is a COMPLETELY fixed level of isocyanuric acid (stabilizer). You decide what level you want to set it to, add enough stabilizer powder to get to that level, and you're done. No longer will you have to wonder where your stabilizer level is and how much detrimental effect it's having on the sanitation capacity of your free chlorine. You will never have to (completely or partially) drain your pool ever again just to reduce the stabilizer level. That is a critical benefit of a SWG pool that you completely ignored. I don't get it?
