A salt water pool still uses chlorine, it just stays "mostly" in the generator vessel. I am amused when people complain about the chlorine tho, A properly balanced pool tests exactly the same as WSSC tap water. I have my routine down to the point that I spend about 10 minutes a week on the pool in the summer. Basically get the pH right, then I drop 2.5 tabs in the pool floater, the other half in the spa floater, shock the pool with a gallon and a half of liquid chlorine. In the winter you can cut that all by half or more. I used to run the cleaner 6 hours every day but now I just run it about once or twice a week. Because you are avoiding swings, you can run lower levels across the board than required in a regular system... Yup. What Gregg is doing is responding to what I'd call a weekly oscillation based on previous experience with three other conventional chlorine pools, especially if he needs to add a gallon or more of liquid chlorine every week. I realize that he's in Florida but during the summer we also have lots of sun and warm to hot temps up here. With the salt system I don't do anything other than have the water tested once a month at the pool store. Once, last year, they recommended adding about a quart of PH "plus" (or maybe it was "minus" .... I can't remember). Other than that it's basically maintenance free. As you mentioned, people who swim in it who are used to conventional chlorine systems almost always comment on how "silky smooth" the water feels. I wouldn't know. I think I went in the pool once last summer. It's mostly guests and grandkids that use it. Next house will not have a pool. |
