If the chlorine concentration ends up being as strong as it is in a
regular pool (3 ppm or so), a lot of the sales pitch goes out the

One of the advantages of a salt system is that the chlorine level
required in the pool water is less than that of a conventional pool.

What does all the sanitizing work is "available free chlorine ions"
which is *all* the cell generates via electrolysis. Bulk chlorine in
the form of tablets or liquid contains less free chlorine ions, so more
of it must be used.
