Salt System FAQs
Is a saltwater pool actually chlorine-free?
No—saltwater pools still use chlorine, but the salt cell generates it from dissolved salt instead of you adding it manually. The chlorine levels are typically lower and more consistent, which is why the water feels softer.
How much does it cost to run a salt system?
Salt systems add minimal electricity cost (roughly $5-10/month). You'll save money on chlorine purchases. The main ongoing cost is replacing the salt cell every 3-7 years depending on use.
Will salt damage my pool equipment?
Salt can be corrosive to certain metals over time. We check your equipment for compatibility and may recommend sacrificial anodes or equipment upgrades to prevent corrosion issues.
Can any pool be converted to saltwater?
Most pools can be converted. We'll assess your equipment, plumbing, and surface finish to ensure compatibility. Pools with certain metal fixtures or older heaters may need upgrades.
How salty is the water?
Saltwater pools have about 3,000 ppm of salt—roughly 1/10th the salinity of ocean water. Most people can't taste it, and it won't dry out your skin like ocean water does.
