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
window.

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.

Not only that but I think the constant levels instead of the wild swings
in a manual system, allow for a lower level across the board to maintain
instead of chasing a half day or so of too low levels....
