Best Answer

A salt water pool has a chlorine generator on it that turns sodium chloride into chlorine gas. The water in the pool is not like the ocean, you can't taste the salt and it doesn't sting your eyes. The water isn't as harsh on clothing, eyes, skin and hair as chlorine is.

A salt cell simply takes the salt from the water and produces hypochloruus acid, or chlorine. Don't think that if you get a salt cell you'll have a chlorine free pool. you still have chlorine, you just don't manually add it, the cell takes care of that for you.

I answer this question as a kidney transplant patient myself. Swimming in salt water itself poses no risk to a kidney transplant patient. The phrase 'a salt water pool' may mean a swimming pool which uses salt to generate chlorine. This is not the same as swimming in salt water. A pool which uses salt to generate chlorine should not be dangerous, though it will be a somewhat weaker form of chlorine. If at all in doubt, ask your doctor.
