Will switching from chlorine chemical system to a salt water system ruin pool?
No A salt water pool is in fact also chlorine pool, the difference being that with a salt water pool a salt water chlorinator converts the salt that is in the water into chlorine gas which is then dissolved into the water while the filter is running. the conversion wont have any adverse effects on the pool.
You currently have an above ground pool using a Baquacil not chlorine based system Can you convert this system to salt without problems?
You first have to convert the pool to a chlorine system As a salt water system is a chlorine system.
Is it easier to maintain a saltwater pool or a chlorine pool system?
Salt water pools
Salt water pool systems vs chlorine which is better?
A salt water pool is a chlorine pool. The difference is that in a normal fresh water pool you have to add the chlorine as it is required. In the case of the salt water pool salt is added to the pool which is int urn run through a chlorine generator that is installed on the pipe leading from the filter to the pool. The chlorine generator electronically separates chlorine gas out of the salt water which then dissolves into the water automatically maintaining chlorine levels. The adidion of salt to the water makes it more pleasant to swim in and you are spared having to handle and store chlorine at home. but the problem is you are still swimming in Chlorine and now you are also swimming in sodium.
Is a chlorine system or a salt water system better for a fiberglass pool?

What is involved with Maintenance with pool with salt system?
Aside from not having to put chlorine in the water, the same things that you have to do in a fresh water pool.
Is a chlorine system or a salt water system the best for a lined pool?
A salt system IS a chlorine system. Chlorine is still the sanitizer. The salt system is there so a chlorine generator can make the chlorine from the salt instead of you having to deal with it. There is no such thing as "best", only tradeoffs. A salt system is expensive even if you break it down per year (with initial and replacement costs). However much less maintenance. A salt system IS perfectly safe for a vinyl, or any type, pool.
What colour will your pool water go if you add to much chlorine?

What is meant by electro chlorination system?
That would mean a saltwater pool. With a salt water pool the water is run through a electronic chlorinater this is a device that separates chlorine from the salt turns it into chlorine gas which is then simultaneously dissolved into the water. you never have to add chlorine.
What is a chlorine generator?
Many people are choosing to remodel their swimming pool systems to add saltwater chlorination. With a saltwater pool system, a chlorine generator is added to the pool's filtration system. The water circulates through the chlorinator, where salt produces a chlorine gas that dissolves into the water. That chlorine in turn, breaks down and turns into salt, cycling the process all over again.
What kind of pool is cheapest out of salt water and chlorine?
I have found my salt pool much cheaper than chlorine. If you also factor in the labor with a chlorine pool then you really see a difference.Combine the salt generator with an automatic pool cleaner and the pool is almost maintenence free. Last year I only added a little stabalizer to the pool. that's it. the water tests are always perfect. I live in south Florida. A: both in the above are essentially the same thing. With one you add the chlorine manually. With the other it is manufactured on site in the pool thru the salt system. That same system is how they make liquid chlorine. Please get into your minds that they are not totally two different animals. If you were talking about Baquacil and Chlorine then you do have a difference. Period.
What are chlorine pills for?
Chlorine tabs are for use in a chlorinator - there's some that just float in the pool and some that are connected to the water line and so are "automatic". They are a slow delivery system to help maintain the chlorine level in the water between 'shocking' the pool.
