Salt Chlorination vs a "Saltwater" Pool

People often tell us that they want a "saltwater pool." After many years of installing pools throughout New England, we know that they are actually looking for a salt chlorination system (aka chlorine generator) for their pool.


A saltwater pool is what you may find at a seaside resort or on a cruise ship where the ocean water is actually used to fill the pool. Whereas a salt chlorination system uses salt to chlorinate and sanitize the pool water. Salt chlorination systems create water that is just about odorless and soft to the touch.
