Saltwater Pool
Our saltwater pool system was easy to set up and requires little maintenance or ongoing costs. It also doesn’t irritate our skin and eyes while we swim in our small above ground pool.
Compared to buying chlorine and the constant maintenance and ongoing costs required for those systems, a saltwater pool system can be a nice option.
How a Saltwater System Works
After initially dumping 84 lbs of pool salt (inexpensive) into our ~3,000 gallon above ground pool the saltwater system ‘box’ pictured above takes care of the rest. It has a readout letting you know if the salt level is high or low. And I use test strips to check periodically, but after several months I’ve had to do no adjustments to how much salt is in the pool.
Our filter and saltwater box automatically run for a handful of hours each day…
