Salt Water Pool report

Over the past four decades thousands of backyard swimming pools have been installed. The use of chlorine was the norm for sanitizing the pool. Be it liquid or dry, a whole business sprang up producing chemicals for swimming pools. Unfortunately dry skin, damaged hair, and red burning eyes where the ensue after a day of swimming. Since nothing could be done population tolerated these problems, all the while dreaming of a solution.

Then person came up with the idea to use salt in pools. When one thinks of salt they think of the ocean. These pools are not like the salt water found in the ocean. They still have chlorine but at lower levels. This confuses population but shouldn't, the salt is used to create chlorine as the salt passes straight through a cell. The salt ranges from a low of 2700 parts per million to a high of 3400 parts per million. Each theory is a tiny distinct so the owner's by hand should be consulted.

Solve A Fraction Problem

Salt water pools solve the problems of dry skin, damaged hair and red eyes as the solution of salt is at the right levels to give one a comfortable swimming experience. Other benefit is not having to transport chlorine from the pool store. This also makes for lower chemical costs. Should you buy a salt water system? Lets look at some of the drawbacks before you make that decision.

Lets start with the first cost of the system. They can run well over a thousand dollars installed. The cell may only last five to seven years depending on how well the systems is maintained. By this I mean that the salt levels must be kept at the spoton parts per million or damage may occur to the cell, which can be costly to replace. So you still need to buy the salt, this may be only a few times a year depending on how much is purchased at one time.

Another drawback is the pool still needs to be tested for chlorine and acid demand. Yes you still need to test for chlorine. The salt cell generates the chlorine but adjustments must be made to forestall the levels from becoming to high or low. Then you need to test for the ph level. If the ph level becomes too high or low the salt cell can be damaged leading to replacement and extra cost.

Then there is the ask of how much time is needed to run the pool pump. Many population want to run their pump a few hours a day. They come to be accustomed to the low galvanic bills. Then when they buy the salt theory they find that more hours are needed for the theory to work correctly. This leads to higher bills so population tend to turn the pump time back down. Guess what happens then? Well if the pool experiences heavy use the chlorine level drops or disappears. So one has two choices, they can either run the theory longer or add liquid chlorine. The later kind of defeats the whole idea of a salt water pool.

Another drawback is that a salt theory cannot be installed in pools that have copper pipes. Many pools in the sixties and seventies had copper plumbing. Salt will eat away at the copper over a duration of time. So plastic pipes need to be installed which can come to be very costly.

These are the major pros and cons of owning a salt water pool. You decide is it worth it to have soft skin nice hair and the absence of red eyes? Many think it is the only way to go and wouldn't ever go back to fresh water pools.
