Your questions about salt water swimming pools

Wize Guy answers:

He means they are selling the equipment to use salt in the water(table or solarsalt-sodium chloride)to generate useable chlorine for sanitation(hypochlorous acid).the usable chlorine is quickly converted back to salt again to be cycled thru the generator.Better is arguable.Not enough salt to affect buoyancy substantially.ocean sharks(saltwater)should be in water created in the same way used in the Georgia aqaurium(dont know the name of it but it has the largest window around,featured on the today show).They add bags of a mixture that so closely mimics seawater that they do not need to be located near an oceanwater source.

No, sale water swimming pool systems are not bad in any way for people. The salt is at a VERY low concentration so the water does not taste or smell salty and the water will not leave salt residue as it dries on towels or swimwear.

In regards to human health, a saltwater pool system is competely 100% healthy.

If you want to swim in salt water, you could just go to your local beaches, right. Also, I am certain that people do get drown in salt water.

Wize Guy answers:

Salt water pools are more expensive to run as the cell has to be changed every 2 years and cleaned every 3 months. You can do these yourself but the cell at a pool store will cost you a few hundred. The only real asset to a salt pool is if chemicals bother you, it may be your answer although you will still need to use shock and other chems when needed. Another is the cost of the equiptment itself needed to run it. And you need to know how to operate it unless you hire a company to maintain it. If you over salt the pool, the system won’t work and draining the pool is the only way you can bring the salt levels down. If you want simple……go bromine or clorine.
