If you’re building a new pool—or thinking about switching systems—you’ve probably wondered: Saltwater or chlorine? Both sanitize your pool, but they do it differently. Here’s what you need to know:
Saltwater pools use a salt cell (chlorine generator) to convert salt into chlorine automatically. They’re popular in Florida because they’re:
- Softer on the skin and eyes
- Require fewer chemical adjustments
- Offer lower long-term chemical costs
- But keep in mind: the system needs maintenance, and replacement salt cells every few years.
Traditional chlorine pools use liquid or tablet chlorine added manually. They’re:
- Less expensive to install up front
- Easier to troubleshoot for basic pool owners
- More flexible for specialty chemicals or large bather loads
- But you’ll need to handle chemicals more often, especially in Florida’s hot summers when chlorine evaporates quickly.
Pro Tip: Both systems still use chlorine—it’s just a matter of how it’s delivered. Saltwater systems make pool care more automated, but both can keep your water crystal clear with the right setup.
Still deciding? My Pool Repairs can inspect your system, walk you through the pros and cons so you can make an informed choice. We serve all of Central Florida!
