Saltwater or chlorine is one of the most common questions we get. The short answer: both use chlorine to keep the water clean. The difference is how it gets there.
How a salt system works
A salt system uses a cell to make chlorine from salt dissolved in the pool water, so you are not adding chlorine by hand as often.
Why homeowners choose salt
- Water that feels softer on skin and eyes
- Less day-to-day handling of chlorine
- Lower routine maintenance for many owners
Most Tampa Bay homeowners prefer salt systems for lower maintenance and comfort.
Traditional chlorine
A traditional chlorine pool works well too, and some owners prefer it. Either way, the water still needs regular testing and balancing.
