Why I want a Salt System!

There are several benefits and some myths to go over. In this article, we will go over some of the benefits and a couple of myths. First, there is the concept of the hands off benefit, you don’t have to add liquid chlorine to your pool by hand. This means that it is going to generate chlorine as long as the pump is running as checked through automation. Softer water, having salt in your pool does in fact cause the water to be softer.

One of the myths might be that you do not get algae in your pool if you have a salt system. There are many factors to consider as to how this would be false. One of the main arguments is that if there are phosphates in the pool, phosphates feed the algae and no matter what is done until the phosphates are removed. Allergy is going to flourish in body of water. Phosphates can also cause a false reading of your salt level. And for your solar system to work, optionally, you would need to kill off the phosphates.

If the pH is too high, that will disqualify active use of chlorine and sanitizer in the pool, which will also cause algae to flourish.

Another great benefit is going to be chemical cost! One of the biggest benefits that you will run into is that once the salt is added, as long as there are no leaks in the pool, your chemical costs for sanitizing the water goes down significant. You’ll have to use a muriatic acid to lower the pH, but the cost of chlorinegoes down significantly. Once the salt is at the right level and is kept in the right range Own chlorine and sanitize Without you having to add by hand and the cost of liquid chlorine, tablets, or any other stabilizer and sanitizer is Lowered dramatically.

On the flipside, it would be a moot point to have an a salt system in use or installed if your pool jhas a leak. I would tell anybody thinking about upgrading to a salt system the first hire a leak detection company to make sure that their pool has no leaks prior to making the upgrade. If you’re having to add bags of salt often that would also make a cool cleaning company, not as interested in doing the pool for the cost of salt. At least not without charging extra for service. If you’re thinking about an upgrade to an existing pool make sure that you call a leak detection company or experts on the topic to find any and all leaks prior to you making this investment.

As far as which one to go with, that is all gonna be dictated by personal preference And your wallet. They do the same thing, Talk to the contractor installing the system to give you an educated insight on each individual brand and model.
